Objetivos e âmbito de aplicação do grupo de trabalho
The Regulatory Issues WG addresses regulatory matters and questions that fall outside the specific remit of ACE’s other dedicated Work Groups. It serves as a flexible, cross-cutting body for emerging or residual issues in the regulatory landscape affecting the architectural profession.
Additionally, the WG functions as a consultative and advisory resource for topics primarily handled within Area 1 and Area 2. This ensures coherent, expert input across overlapping or boundary-spanning regulatory challenges, while supporting ACE’s broader advocacy for a balanced and proportionate regulatory environment that safeguards professional integrity, public interest, and high-quality architecture.
