The Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) of existing and draft normative legal acts is a new mechanism to improve the conditions for entrepreneurial and investment activities in Moscow. The RIA procedure is established by Decree of the Moscow Government # 99-PP dated March 4, 2014 “On assessment of regulatory impact upon preparation of draft regulatory legal acts of the Moscow Government and assessment of actual impact of the Moscow Government regulatory legal acts”.
Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) is the assessment of draft regulatory legal acts. Actual Impact Assessment (AIA) is carried out some time after a regulatory legal act comes into force.
The assessment of the draft acts regulatory impact is aimed to select the best possible regulatory option based on the analysis of alternative regulatory options and the expected positive and negative consequences thereof. Particular attention is paid to identifying the draft act provisions that introduce or contribute to the introduction of excessive duties, prohibitions and restrictions for business and investment entities, which may lead these entities and/or the Moscow budget to unreasonable expenses.
The main actual impact assessment goals are to find out whether the stated regulatory goals have been achieved, to determine the expenses of various groups associated with the introduction of regulation, to find out whether there is a need to change the regulation in order to provide a better balance of benefits and costs.
