Abstract
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) was established on May 25, 1981, with the six Arab states (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE). The GCC’s primary role is to formulate standardised regulations in various fields such as economics, finance, trade, customs, tourism, health, legislation and administration, establish scientific research centres, encourage cooperation with the private sector and strengthen ties between the countries. Yemen has joined the GCC only in the healthcare and sports initiatives in 2004, and it was therefore critical to incorporate Yemen in the future strategic planning process being an existing member state that is required to develop and prosper its regulatory system in order to be able to meet the future demand of the GCC regulatory needs.
