Abstract
The 2006-07 regulatory reform of liberal professions lifted several prohibitions and restrictions on fees, advertising and forms of business. These long-overdue changes are welcome, although they are not comprehensive. Moreover, in order to be effective the reform requires a culture shift in the professions, which are changing hesitantly. Greater consultation might have laid a foundation for acceptance of the new regulation. This chapter discusses the core challenges, the limits of the reforms and the need for further reforms to increase and incentivize competition by guaranteeing the quality of services at the same time| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
