The Legal Services Act 2007 established new regulatory bodies to reform legal services regulation in England and Wales. The Act created the Legal Services Board as the oversight regulator and the Office for Legal Complaints as an independent complaints handling body. It also allows for Alternative Business Structures that permit different types of legal professionals and external investment in law firms. Implementation of the new bodies will take several years, with the LSB expected to be fully operational by early 2010 and the OLC by late 2010. The reforms aim to establish a clearer regulatory framework, ensure proportionate supervision, and deliver legal services in new ways to better meet consumer needs.

Lobbying involves attempting to influence the decisions of government officials, particularly legislators, on behalf of interest groups or individuals. It can take the form of direct lobbying of legislators or grassroots lobbying to influence public opinion. While lobbying is legal and an important part of the democratic process, there are also ethical concerns around issues like transparency, fairness, and serving the common good. Key issues include undisclosed conflicts of interest, unequal access to lawmakers, and ensuring lobbying ultimately serves the broader public rather than private or personal interests. Overall, lobbying exists in a gray area where the activities themselves are legal but can potentially cross ethical lines depending on the methods and motivations involved.

El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

8. 6. Preamble of Recent Modifications
On September 8th 2013 the Executive
Branch presented the Fiscal Reform to
the House of Representatives
Meanwhile, two controversies regarding
lobbying procedures arose in the media,
offers and bribes suggested from
lobbying agents such as Price
Waterhouse Coopers and the Soft Drink
Industry to congressmen in the House of
Representatives if they voted according
to their interests.
This coverage and exposure of the
corrupt practices and the lack of
transparency, gave place to the
Decree that amends the Rules of
the House of Representatives,
published on October 18th .
• Increase of Income Tax (ISR)
• Increase of Value Added Tax (IVA)
• Increase of Special Production and
Services Tax (IEPS) Soft Drink

10. Course of Action

15. On June 2013, Mexico participated at the "Forum on Transparency and Integrity in
Lobbying" hosted by the OECD here in Paris, where we had the opportunity to
acknowledge some of the best international practices on lobbying .
The case study of Lobbying Rules and Procedures that was put together, concluded
that Mexico is located in a poor level of lobbying legislation in regard to the
international experience.
We analyzed the efficiency of different frameworks, specially the Canadian model,
which presents practical elements to be implemented in Mexico, in order to fill the
gaps and optimize current lobbying activities in the country.
We have established contact with the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying of
Canada, in order to broaden our vision and enrich the forthcoming reforms that are to
be made to the Mexican lobbying regulation system.

17. Mexico suffered a democratic transition during the 90´s, giving way to a much more involved
Congress and society in the policy-making process.
From 2002 to 2010, several ballot initiatives and decrees to regulate lobbying were proposed;
however, didn´t succeed.
Emergence of the regulatory framework in the Legislative Branch in 2010 and 2011.
After having reviewed the functioning of the rules and guidelines related to lobbying, there is an
evident need to make necessary adjustments in light of experience.
Currently, the Mexican Government is working on a Draft Law on Lobbying in order to adopt the
best international practices and overcome the inefficiencies of the current regulation.
