Yangju City Ranks First Nationally in Deregulation Reform, Holds 'Deregulation Inspection Conference'

Yangju City (Mayor Lee Sung-ho) held a 'Deregulation Inspection Conference' on the 16th at the City Hall situation room, presided over by Vice Mayor Oh Hyun-sook.

The meeting was attended by all department heads and township/division chiefs of the city, who discussed measures to improve low-performing indicators in the 2017 National Deregulation Map evaluated by the Ministry of Interior and Safety and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Through the conference, the city decided to actively respond by integrating deregulation into the new administration's job creation policy, in line with the Presidential Council on Jobs' 'Job Creation 100-Day Plan,' by actively identifying regulation targets to expand the negative regulatory system for new industries.

Vice Mayor Oh Hyun-sook stated, "For our Yangju City, which is the nation's top city in deregulation reform and best city for business operations nationally, to make further advances, civil servants must not fear change and must carefully examine whether there are unreasonable regulations while promoting their duties," and added, "I hope to actively promote deregulation in connection with the new administration's job creation policy."

Meanwhile, Yangju City was selected as an excellent organization in the 2016 Local Deregulation Promotion Performance Evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Interior and Safety and received a presidential commendation. The city also achieved first place nationally in the 2016 National Deregulation Map Evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Interior and Safety and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
