[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 20th that on the 19th, it held the 6th Regulatory Reform Committee meeting of 2020 at the county office situation room, attended by about 15 people including Bong Jin-moon, chairman of the Wando-gun Regulatory Reform Committee, review members, and related officials.

At the meeting, the 2020 regulatory innovation promotion achievements were shared, and regulatory tasks concerning seven items, including newly established and strengthened regulations and regulations registered under the regulatory proof responsibility system, were reviewed.

The regulatory proof responsibility system is a system where public officials prove the necessity of maintaining regulations, rather than citizens or companies proving the need for regulatory improvement; if they fail to prove it, the regulation is improved.

Since last year, to solidify the regulatory proof responsibility system implemented by the government, the county has opened and operated a ‘Corporate Regulatory Difficulty Reception Desk’ on the county website so that residents and companies can propose improvements to unreasonable regulations at any time.

When regulatory difficulties are received, the Regulatory Reform Committee reviews whether improvements are needed and then responds with the results.

Bong Jin-moon, vice governor and chairman of the Regulatory Reform Committee, said, “This year, our county has organically promoted the regulatory proof responsibility system, comprehensive maintenance of unreasonable registration regulations, flexibilization of legislative methods for autonomous regulations, and proactive administration in line with the government’s regulatory innovation direction, striving to innovate livelihood regulations in residents’ daily lives,” and added, “We ask for the active activities of the Regulatory Reform Committee to resolve difficulties faced by residents, self-employed persons, and small business owners.”

Meanwhile, Wando-gun received the grand prize and a financial incentive of 100 million won at the ‘2020 Local Regulatory Innovation Best Practice Competition’ conducted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in September, and was selected as the ‘2020 Ministry of the Interior and Safety Local Regulatory Innovation Certified Excellent Institution’ for the first time in Jeollanam-do this year.
