Designing a framework for evaluating laws, rules and policies within any given legal system is a daunting task. Comprehensive schemes risk ending up as mere paper realities because of the demands they place on evaluators as well as on the addressees of evaluations. More realistic evaluation frameworks on the other hand may not yield many results. The OECD has a long track record of encouraging member countries to deal with 'regulation' in the wider sense of the word in a rationalistic and systematic way. These encouragements tend to involve recommendations, peer reviews, and the use of country surveys in order to establish progress in what the OECD usually calls 'regulatory policy' or 'regulatory management' ('better regulation' in EU parlance and sometimes referred to as 'meta-regulation' in the literature). Recently a new tool has been added. In a move parallel to the EU's efforts to 'complete the regulatory cycle', the OECD has developed a new Framework for Regulatory Policy Evaluation (hereafter referred to as 'Framework').
