Municipalities, universities and businesses have put forward a total of 300 proposals to ease regulations and grant economic privileges to government-designated areas and help recession-hit regional economies, government officials said Saturday.
Some of the proposals call for state insurance coverage to be granted to some types of expensive and advanced medical treatments that are presently exempt from coverage. There are also calls for road regulations to be eased to facilitate the filming of movie car-chase scenes on city streets, they said.
Earlier in August, the government briefed representatives of local governments, municipalities and other interested parties on a plan to give economic privileges to some government-certified districts and municipalities to turn around flagging regional economies.
