One-stop service is offered in the Pudong New Area for the purpose of further improving the investment environment and simplifying the project examination-and-approval process. The agencies involved in project examination and approval and the various services concerned are present at the one-stop service center to provide investors with comprehensive information and consultancy service on government policies, government working procedures, matters relating to project examination and approval, etc.. In the case of overseas-invested projects in non-restricted categories with total investment under US$300 million and domestically-funded projects in non-restricted categories whose examination and approval falls within the authority of the Pudong New Area Administration, the government promises that the examination-and-approval procedure will be completed in no more than ten working days on condition that the policy requirements with regard to the nature of the project, city planning control, environmental protection, etc. are met. The time limit entails that the procedures must be considerably simplified and work efficiency increased.
