Introduction

Pursuant to the deliberations of the first meeting of the Economic and Employment Council (EEC), a Subgroup on Business Facilitation was established in March 2004 under the EEC. The main objective of the Subgroup was to eliminate outdated, excessive, repetitive or unnecessary government regulations on business so as to facilitate business development and job creation. The Subgroup was disbanded in December 2005 following the disbandment of the EEC.
