About this presentation
Leaving the Bloc was promoted as an opportunity for divergence from overly burdensome EU Regulation, offering greater flexibility for GB business to lead the way with a more transparent and pragmatic approach, whilst maintaining high levels of safety. HSE would be free to review approaches from Authorities worldwide and develop a hybrid model. I will present some examples of challenges currently facing applicants and Industry views on the possible direction GB Regulation might take.
