Regulatory cooperation is a hot topic these days, one that I've mentioned a few times on this blog. Next week at NYU they will be talking more about it:
NYU's Global Administrative Law Project will be hosting a symposium at the end of next week, Feb 27-28. Prompted by the discussion surrounding ACUS Recommendation 2011-6, and the subsequent Executive Order 13609, the symposium will be looking at the topic of international regulatory cooperation especially through the lens of current TTIP negotiations. Traditionally more the province of trade lawyers, agreements like the TTIP and also the TPP now seem especially to implicate administrative law questions with their focus on "next generation" regulatory cooperation issues. The symposium will get at these issues from both academic and more practical in-the-trenches perspectives.
On the latter, of particular interest may be the kickoff panel on Thursday, February 27, from 4 to 6 pm, that features C. Boyden Gray, who most recently served as US Ambassador to the European Union, two recent OIRA Associate Administrators who both worked on advancing greater regulatory cooperation from therein (Jeff Weiss and Michael Fitzpatrick), the senior EU negotatior for the TTIP (Iganacio Garcia Bercero), and a Labour member of the European Parliament (Peter Skinner).
