BEIJING, Oct. 11 (Xinhua) -- China is steadily promoting the reform on construction project approval with the aim to reduce the time for approval in the pilot reform areas from the current average of more than 200 working days to 120 working days this year.
The country strives to achieve the above goal nationwide in the first half of 2019 and basically build a national unified engineering construction project approval and management system in 2020.
At present, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has reviewed more than 90 laws, administrative regulations, rules, normative documents and standard specifications about the construction project approval at the national level, and proposed specific amendments to the first batch of 18 laws, regulations and policy documents, according to an official of the ministry.
The reform is to build a unified engineering construction project approval and management system covering government departments at all levels and achieving more efficient project approval and information sharing, said Zhou Tao, an official of the ministry.
