Task forces are set up to conduct reviews on the regulatory framework of
specific business sectors with a view to eliminating outdated or burdensome
regulations on business and cutting red tape. There are currently five task
forces, namely, Task Force to Review the Construction Stage of the Development
Process [Construction Task Force], the Pre-construction Task Force, Town
Planning Task Force , Retail Task Force and Food Business Task Force. The
Construction Task Force was formed under the Provisional Construction Industry
Co-ordination Board. The
Food Business Task Force was set up in April 2006 under the Business
Facilitation Advisory Committee. The
other
three
Task Forces were formed under the former Economic and Employment Council
Subgroup on Business Facilitation. Subsequent to the disbandment of the Economic
and Employment Council and the Economic and Employment Council Subgroup on
Business Facilitation, the task forces report their work to the Business
Facilitation Advisory Committee.
