Experts activities and outputs:
Identified the regulatory bodies in charge of trade in services in each CEFTA Party, noted the on-going regulatory reform processes in the services sectors and the role of regulatory authorities in these processes, as well as any form of cooperation amongst regulatory authorities in the CEFTA Parties in the area of services;
Conducted analysis of the potential to intensify cooperation amongst regulatory authorities in the Region, taking into account existing forms of cooperation, interests of services providers and the government to intensify the cooperation by introducing arrangements in new sectors, or strengthening existing ones with a view of deepening the intraregional trade in services.
