This chapter will promote a transparent regulatory environment, bilateral regulatory co-operation, and the exchange of information. It encourages good governance and accountability within regulatory processes, which will provide a stable and predictable regulatory regime for UK businesses.

The UK and India will ensure that their regulations are made accessible. Both countries will also make commitments to provide a reasonable opportunity for interested persons to comment on proposed major regulatory measures, and to encourage regulatory authorities to co-operate on current and future regulation. This co-operation could identify opportunities to reduce unnecessary trade barriers, supporting innovation and economic growth.
