Recommendation
It will be vital for regulators to continue to develop their engagement on the world stage. Outside the European Union, the regulators have taken steps to increase their international influence and engagement, recognising the importance of sharing good practice, increasing cooperation in the global marketplace, and working to improve standards worldwide. For example, CMA has both continued its engagement with the International Competition Network and the International Consumer Protection and Enforcement Network, and also agreed a new mutual assistance and cooperation framework with the competition authorities in the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. FSA is strengthening its engagement with Codex Alimentarius, the international standard-setting body for food and feed, and it is investing in its work with the International Food Safety Authorities Network (INFOSAN) that supports international cooperation on the management of food safety incidents. HSE is also representing the UK at the UN globally harmonised system of classification and labelling of chemicals. Recommendation: The regulators should write to the Committee in six months setting out their plans for further international engagement including their objectives and timescales for action. 8 Regulating after EU Exit 1 Regulatory strategy, capacity and capability post EU Exit
