CONCLUSION
• International / Regional harmonisation of regulation is important for
economic integration
• Private sector plays a key role in national & reginal standards setting
and harmonisation, and thus should be involved in the discussion
• Capacity building and information exchange through public-private
partnership are essential for effective implementation and better
convergence of regulations
