The text is ambiguous, but my interpretation is that there are two problems:

1. A system that is overregulated in general--i.e., rules and regulations that are too elaborate and picky,

and

2. Individual rules that conflict or leave gaps because they are not coordinated.

These are not the same.

I see it now! "Regulacio'n" is a PROCESS; "reglas" is a NOUN OBJECT. At the semantic level, they are different CASES, so it's impossible to conjoin them. "Reglamiento" is the Spanish equivalent of English "regulation."

Two different things are happening here. I thought it was ambiguous at first, but now I realize that there's only one way to interpret it.

neutral  Muriel Vasconcellos: See further explanation below. "Regulacio'n" is a process. (You were thinking of "reglamiento"). "Reglas" is a noun object. They are different semantic cases, so they can't be conjoined.

  -> I think it's clear this is the same problem - regulacion y reglas are referred to in the text without a comma - they should be grouped together
