There are several Parliamentary Committees, where Ministers and Members of the Parliament deliberate with stakeholders on draft bills. Moreover, the constitutionally enshrined Economic and Social Committee conducts deliberations on economic and social policy issues and on relevant proposed draft bills.

Stakeholders are mainly identified regarding their representativeness of social and other groups affected by the regulation’s impact.

Municipality and self-governed regional councils hold meetings on issues relevant to them that are open to the public.
