The Shanghai municipal
government has scrapped 101 items and simplified 142 others in its list of
affairs that need a government stamp, said government spokesman Jiang Lai on
Wednesday.
The 243 items mostly related to government charges on companies and
construction projects, he said.
The city government would continue reducing and changing regulations of this
kind.
So far the city government has abolished and simplified 1,044 items of the
2,027 affairs that are required to be approved by thegovernment.
The procedure to register a company at the administration has shortened from
half a month to a week.
A real estate project takes 100 days to get approval, compared with a year
before the government cut half of the 81 items that need a stamp.
The government expected the efforts will improve the transparency and
efficiency of the administrations, Jiang said.
