Ex-post review of regulations is not a widespread tool in the public administration. However, some entities have already implemented it. For example, According to Article 2.2.1.7.6.7. of the Decree 1595 of 2015, there is a disposition according to which, every technical regulation must be subject to a review from the Regulatory Agency with the goal of deciding its enforcement, amendment or repeal at least once every 5 years. Regarding the rules applicable to the Regulatory Commissions, there may be ex-post assessments every three years. Last, the Ministry of Justice has the usual practice to analyze the enforcement of current laws and recommend the repeal of normative acts that are obsolete.

There is an administrative procedure to reconsider administrative acts enacting regulation. Judicial procedures to repeal regulations are also available.
