Gyeonggi Province plans support to help businesses seek rule changes
Gyeonggi Province plans to launch a business regulation support program next year to help companies seek changes to rules.
The province, in South Korea, says businesses will be able to explain practical problems without having to analyze complex laws or write formal proposals themselves.
The program will turn those problems into recommendations for the central government that could lead to changes in regulations.
At a meeting, Naver said secure online networks could make it faster and cheaper to provide restricted map data to companies that pass security checks.
Hyundai Wia said rules for mechanical parking systems do not fit facilities that use parking robots, and called for a separate definition for intelligent parking facilities.
