Regulatory reforms in Europe and OECD countries in the last decade have focused on various tools that would improve 'regulatory quality'. Regulatory impact assessment (RIA) is considered to be a tool that assists the decision-makers to make choice by systematic appraisal of the potential effects (fiscal, social, economic and other) to proposed legislation. Slovakia, together with other newly accessed countries adopted this tool in the year 2001, however, there is no systematic available research that would discuss the level of implementation and quality of the information in the regulatory impact assessments conducted in these countries. This article deals with the quality of information contained in regulatory impact assessments conducted in Slovakia.
