Concurrent Interactive
Workshops |
| |
|
These workshops will encourage a high degree of delegate participation
in discussion of key issues in the theory and practice of regulation
and in identifying and discussing salient trends at this stage of
the Forum. Its success will be assured primarily by the energy and
enthusiasm of workshop members in contributing their varied experiences
and views.
Format: 9 or more workshops of 100 delegates with moderator, "rapporteur"
and "scribe"
Topics common to all workshops
|
| |
|
- How far should regulation be influenced by broader
policy considerations? For example: income distribution;
regional development; the environment; sustainable development.
|
- Should regulation of energy production, in terms of
supply and price, be confined to the case of the vertically-integrated
utility, electric or gas?
|
- What will be the challenges of tomorrow's regulators?
