Yangju City Wins Top Prize in Gyeonggi Province's Regulatory Reform Assessment

Yangju City received the top prize in the "2016 Gyeonggi Province Municipal and County Regulatory Reform Achievement Assessment."

The "Provincial Municipal and County Regulatory Reform Assessment" is conducted to promote voluntary regulatory reform among 31 municipalities and counties in the province, and is implemented to discover and improve central government regulations as well as to address redundant and customary administrative regulations.

This year, the city improved eight tailored specialized regulations and conducted a comprehensive survey of similar administrative regulations across public enterprises nationwide, thereby improving irrational and entrenched facility rental clauses and contract provisions.

Additionally, through collaboration with the provincial government and regulatory field sites, the city has worked to resolve various regulatory issues that citizens and businesses can directly experience by deriving improvement measures for central regulations.

Mayor Lee Seong-ho stated, "Going forward, we will actively address all inconveniences caused by regulations and do our best to ensure Yangju grows into a city without regulatory barriers and a city where businesses can thrive."
