Cross-cutting tools and approaches

August 1, 2014

The X-cutting Expert Team is set-up to support regulatory practitioners who are responsible for the development of systems, processes, procedures and new ways of working. The team is primarily concerned with x-cutting regulatory systems rather than sector specific ones. The aims of the team are:

  • To make regulators more efficient & effective
  • Identify and develop overarching tools to support regulators and the implementation of new regulation
  • To contribute to the development of capacity within member organisations and of a level playing field within Europe
  • To work on the identification and contribution to the solution of specific problems
