neutral  Germaine: Je pense qu'on parle plutôt d'allègements: les règles ne semblent pas avoir diminué - il s'en est même ajouté! -, mais on a réduit la portée de certaines (ex.: S.-Oxley rollback/audit/rapports); d'autres ont été assouplies (IPOs)

to trim has two meanings. If you want to reduce the number of rules, you remove them instead of trimming them!
