The Regulatory Review Group (RRG) was set up in December 2004 to examine the issue of regulation.
The industry-led group is made up representatives from all of the main business organisations and its work involves identifying regulations that are causing business concern and investigating areas for review.
The First Minister announced in June 2007 a re-invigoration of the Group under the Chairmanship of Professor Russel Griggs. The Group will report annually, helping the Government in its work to improve the regulatory environment for business.
