[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Seo Dong-young] Suwon announced on the 26th that it has recently received re-certification as an 'Excellence Organization in Local Regulatory Innovation' from the Ministry of Interior and Safety.

The 'Certification System for Excellence Organizations in Local Regulatory Innovation,' introduced by the Ministry of Interior and Safety in 2018, is a system that certifies cities, counties, and districts with high levels of regulatory innovation capability. Certified local governments receive financial incentives, certificates, and commendations.

Basic local governments can apply for certification, and after conducting self-diagnosis based on common indicators (15 items, 700 points) and sector-specific indicators (6 items, 300 points), local governments can apply for certification from the Ministry of Interior and Safety if their total score exceeds 800 points. The city applied in the field of 'Activation of Proactive Administration' and was diagnosed using the corresponding indicators.

The Ministry of Interior and Safety re-certified 12 local governments and newly certified 9 local governments through document review, on-site inspection, and deliberation by a certification committee composed of public-private joint members. The validity period is two years for new certification and three years for re-certification.

The city received high evaluations in diverse areas including ▲Visiting Regulatory Reform Reporting Centers ▲Regulatory Reform Idea Contests ▲Regulatory Reform Training for Public Officials.

A city official stated, "We will actively work to improve regulations that cause inconvenience to citizens and businesses," and added, "We will pursue 'field-oriented regulatory innovation' so that citizens and businesses can directly experience the results."
