Oh, I think that here in Italy we outperform your country with 
that, as for sure we are the most bureaucratised country on the 
hearth.
So it happens that we have people "responsible for the quality" 
for pretty everything, from building houses to doing pizzas.
And guess it, here the buildings made by ancient romans are still 
"up and running", while we have schools building made in the '90 
that come down at every earthquake...

Guru meditation... ;-P
