Cooperative working group for improving law drafting

The cooperative working group for improving law drafting continues cross-administrative cooperation between Ministries to develop law drafting.

The working group monitors the implementation of the Government's legislative programme as well as plans and coordinates Ministries' views on the development of law drafting. The working group may participate in the launch, implementation and monitoring of projects related to the development of law drafting. The group also monitors the development of law drafting in the EU and internationally.

The activities of the working group support the work of the Permanent Secretaries' meeting in improving law drafting. The working group meets regularly approximately once a month and organises separate meetings on topical issues.

The Ministry of Justice has appointed the working group for the period 1.10.2023-30.9.2027. The members are mainly legislative directors of the Ministries or officials with similar duties.
