Les régulateurs sont les 'arbitres' des marchés qui fournissent des services essentiels aux citoyens; leur rôle est de garantir que tous les acteurs de ces marchés respectent les règles et travaillent pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats possibles. Pour cela, le comportement des agences réglementaires doit être objectif, impartial, cohérent et exempt de conflits d'intérêts – autrement dit, indépendant. En même temps, les régulateurs doivent collaborer avec un certain nombre d'intervenants, qui peuvent aussi chercher à infliger des pressions et à exercer des influences indues sur les résultats réglementaires. L'indépendance des régulateurs est donc constamment mise à épreuve. Ce rapport fournit des conseils pratiques sur comment aborder ces points de tension et protéger les régulateurs économiques contre l'influence indue, en s'appuyant sur l'expérience des régulateurs qui participent au Réseau des régulateurs économiques de l'OCDE (Network of Economic Regulators, NER). Il présente une check-list pratique qui vise à accompagner les changements comportementaux et organisationnels. Ce guide aide également les parties prenantes à mieux comprendre et apprécier le rôle des régulateurs et savoir comment interagir avec eux.

This report applies the PAFER to Mexico’s Energy Regulatory Commission and assesses its functions, practices and behaviour. It focuses on internal governance, including structures and processes for decision making, managing financial resources, attracting and retaining talent, managing data and assessing performance. The review identifies a number of challenges and opportunities for improvement, and is a companion to reviews of the internal governance of two other Mexican energy regulators, the Agency for Safety, Energy and Environment and the National Hydrocarbons Commission, and the review of the external governance of the country’s energy sector, Driving Peformance of Mexico’s Energy Regulators.

Regulations help governments support economic growth, social welfare and environmental protection. The challenge is to design clear, coherent, and efficient regulations and to effectively implement them. This report presents cutting-edge thinking in how to facilitate good regulatory design and implementation. Jointly developed by the OECD and the Korea Development Institute, the report builds on a series of expert papers that analyse the experience of Korea and other OECD members in designing and implementing regulatory oversight, stakeholder engagement, regulatory impact assessment and ex post evaluation. It identifies forthcoming challenges, possible solutions and areas for further analysis that can help governments in OECD member and partner countries improve their regulatory systems.

Regulatory differences across jurisdictions can be costly for traders. While these costs may reflect variations in domestic conditions and preferences, they may also be the result of rule-making processes working in isolation and of a lack of consideration for the international environment. Thus, some of the trade costs of regulatory divergence may be avoided without compromising the quality of regulatory protection. Building on lessons learnt from OECD analytical work and the experiences of OECD countries in regulatory policy and trade, this report proposes a definition of trade costs of regulatory divergence and analyses various approaches to addressing them, including unilateral, bilateral and multilateral approaches. It focuses on the contribution of good regulatory practices, the adoption of international standards, and the use of cross-border recognition frameworks and trade agreements. Based on this, the report provides indications for policy makers on how to reduce trade costs through international regulatory co-operation.

Regulatory reform has been a top priority in Korea for several successive administrations. Maintaining momentum for reform in Korea will be essential for producing tangible results and supporting inclusive growth, productivity and innovation. The Regulatory Reform Review of Korea provides key insights into a mature regulatory system and follows two previous Regulatory Reform Reviews of Korea completed in 2000 and 2007. It identifies a number of areas where improvements could help Korea reap the full benefits of the reforms introduced so far.It stresses the need for a clear strategy for regulatory policy in order to make better use of the resources deployed. 

Economic regulators are responsible for ensuring that infrastructure services are delivered efficiently, where competition on its own is unable to achieve this outcome. Based on a survey of 34 economic regulators covering 77 sectors and subsectors including energy, transport, communications and water, this report explores how economic regulators carry out this task, and suggests how this experience can be usefully applied in the governance of infrastructure more broadly.
