The Northern Ireland Independent Retail Trade Association (NIIRTA) has welcomed the publication by DETI Minister Jonathan Bell of ‘Better Regulation: An Action Plan For Reform’ to address the problem of Red Tape on business owners.
NIIRTA Chief Executive Glyn Roberts said: “This Action Plan is to be welcomed as it sets out a clear road map to address the ongoing burden of red tape on our members.
“In our recently launched 97 Point Plan, NIIRTA called for the appointment of Better Regulation Champion and that the red tape challenge should be addressed by every Executive department. We are pleased that this report has included those recommendations.
“The success of this strategy will ultimately be when our members tell us that they are able to spend more time running their businesses, rather than wasting time filling in forms or complying with excessive inspection regimes.”
