INTRODUCTION Public Consultation plays a crucial role in improving the quality of rules and regulations and in improving compliance and reducing enforcement costs for both governments and the private sector. Public consultation gathers information to facilitate governments in formulating sound policy decisions. The application of tools to formulate and review policy, such as Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) and Reducing Unnecessary Regulatory Burdens (RURB), has resulted in consultation increasingly being used to collect empirical and qualitative information for analytical purposes.

APEC Peer Review on Public Consultation Initiatives (this project) sets a platform for volunteer economies to undertake a peer-review on public consultation. Through this peer review mechanism, volunteer economies will have the opportunity to identify gaps in how they conduct public consultation. Addressing these gaps will assist APEC economies in applying Good Regulatory Practices and improving indicators measured by the World Bank, APEC, OECD and other relevant international organisations. It will also support public consultation reforms which will improve the formulation of business regulations.

To initiate this project in March 2018, Malaysia has engaged Ms. Sue Elaine Holmes, an APEC expert from Australia to assess Malaysia’s public consultation practices through a series of interviews on peer-review public consultation initiatives with key stakeholders from business, government agencies, academicians and NGOs.

In April 2018, APEC Survey on Public Consultation Initiatives has also been circulated to all APEC economies to capture government wide practices on how governments engage with stakeholders about public consultation affecting regulatory policy and also identify best practices in public consultation. The results gathered from the responses received through the above surveys will be shared during the APEC workshop scheduled on 17-18 July 2018 at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

OBJECTIVES The main objectives of the workshop are: • To increase participants’ knowledge on implementing more effective and efficient public consultation initiative for formulating regulatory policy; • To share experiences among the participants on the implementation of good public consultation practices; • To share the results of Malaysia’s peer review assessment; • To take stock of the APEC economies’ public consultation practices; and • To discuss and explore the way forward on governance, strategies and techniques in implementing effective and efficient public consultation for APEC economies.

TARGET PARTICIPANTS APEC member economies particularly participants as follows: • Public sector (e.g. officials from ministries and regulatory agencies) • Private sector (e.g. businesses, trade associations and chambers of commerce) • Academia, civil society and interested parties
