8. The first dialogue in January 2006 focused on
"good regulatory practices." Hosted by the European
Commission, nearly 150 senior EU and U.S. regulators,
representatives of the EU Member States, the European
Parliament and the U.S. Congress, and a large number
other stakeholders, including the Trans-Atlantic
Business and Consumer Dialogues (QTABDQ and QTACDQ)
attended the conference intended to promote EU-U.S.
regulatory dialogue, to glean insights into Qhow we
regulateQ on both sides of the Atlantic. A large part
of the discussions was devoted to general regulatory
policy, such as comparing the EU and U.S. regulatory
systems, and approaches in assessing the impact of
regulations.

9. The second HLRCF, hosted by the US Department of
HHS in Washington, DC focused on best cooperative
practices and regulatory work plans. The third event,
hosted by the Office of Management and Budget in
November 2007, focused on import safety and
coordination before considering regulation. On 25
April 2008, the European Commission will host the
fourth HLRCF that will focus strengthening EU-US
Cooperation on imported product safety, risk
assessment in which EU and US will address
methodological cooperation, and the joint report on
the analysis of impacts on international trade and
investment in regulatory impact analyses and impact
assessments. The afternoon session will focus on
public consultation and notice and comment on the EU
and the US regulatory process.
