国内英语资讯:China is cutting licensing red tape for industries

"Fewer licensing requirements don't mean less responsibility. On the contrary, they now have a greater responsibility to the consumers," Li said at the Wednesday meeting.

It will also pose higher requirements to enterprises to ensure the quality of products.

Government departments concerned should further step up compliance oversight, and waste no time in developing compulsory certification standards, he added.

"There should be no overlap though," he said. The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, China's quality watchdog, will delegate the licensing authority of another eight categories of products, including feed grinders, to provincial-level quality supervision departments, the meeting decided.

The country will also pilot reform to streamline procedures for manufacturing license application in some designated areas and industries. Companies can present a qualification report conducted by an eligible agency instead of going through pre-licensing production inspection.

Government departments can also conduct the on-the-scene inspection for companies after, rather than before, they have obtained the manufacturing license, rather than before the issuance, to enable companies to start their production in a timely manner. The quality watchdogs will also step up compliance oversight in the form of spot checks after the issuing of licenses to ensure the quality of products.
