2. THE SECOND BRANCH of the WG: A subgroup on Impact assessment methodology has been formed as part of the Working group on Public Sector Quality in 2005. During
the conference session in Moscow 2005, it became clear that it is
better to assess the quality of IA not in isolation but in conjuction
with other processes connected with legislative drafting and therefore
the subgroup has decided to start cooperation with Working Group on Strategic Leadership in Central Government.
Therefore, the coordinators have suggested to merge the cooperation of
the two working groups. The subsection of the WG 2 related to central government operations has been merged with the Working Group 3.
The
subgroup has been chaired by Katarina Staronova, Slovakia, and uder her
leadership the subgroup has prepared the qualitative follow up. Next
year, the whole subgroup will offer the methodology for a wider use in
the region for a bigger comparative in cooperation with the
coordinators of the Working Group III on Leadership in Central
Government. (Zubek, Brusis)
