My Department has completed a review of the statutory and information requirements of the Department of Foreign Affairs and of the bodies under its aegis to see if there are any which might have an effect on business and industry. It concluded that there were none and the Department has reported this to the Minister for Industry and Commerce's industrial costs monitoring group.
The situation will be kept under regular review to ensure that all proposed new regulatory requirements or changes in existing requirements are assessed with regard to their cost impact on business and industry.
