(1) Complex and Inefficient Procedures for Licences and Approvals - Upon construction of new premises, introduction of equipment, etc., it takes a long lead-time in filing application for acquisition of licences and approvals of the plural ministries and agencies and starting up the business. For introduction of machineries and equipment, after acceptance of application, one year trial operation takes place. The licence is issued after completion of the successful trial operation.
- Apart from legislative issues, it simply takes too much time for processing Licences and Approvals at the domestic administrative institutions (for land acquisition, business licence, work permit, stay permit, etc.).
- It is requested that GOC takes steps to streamline and expedite the procedures for licences and approvals.
- It is requested that all Ministries (Ministry of Economic and Trade, Welfare and Labour, of the Interior) and their subordinate agencies streamline and enhance efficiency in their operation.
