Manufacturing industry ''needs continuous improvement on reducing red tape''A new report is expected to show that efforts to reduce the burden of red tape on the manufacturing sector are starting to have an effect.

However, despite improvements in the level of regulation faced by such companies, EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, has called for more to be done by the government.

The body's director of policy Steve Radley welcomed action by ministers to tackle red tape, but declared the industry "is now looking to see the new approach deliver real change" and called for continuous improvement in this area.

He pointed to forthcoming legislation - such as the national pension savings scheme - as examples of cases where the government needs to outline plans to reduce the burden placed by such rules on employers.

Mr Radley added MPs must also "ensure that any progress at home is not undone by the need to implement expensive and badly-designed directives from Europe".

The Agency Worker Regulations come into force on October 1st 2011, providing additional rights to those on temporary contracts.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800739824-ADNFCR
