Dozens of Retail Rules Set to be Scrapped

The government plans to reduce bureaucracy in the retail sector by scrapping or simplifying 160 regulations. This initiative, part of the red tape challenge, aims to free up time for businesses to focus on their core activities. Many regulations being removed are outdated or redundant, such as those requiring an alcohol license for liqueur chocolates. The government is also addressing historical regulations, like those related to trading with the enemy from 1945. Future efforts will target other sectors, including manufacturing.
