The State Council, China's cabinet, held its 67th executive meeting in Beijing Wednesday to deliberate and adopt, in principle, the draft measures on examining and cracking down on unlicensed businesses.

Vice-premier Li Lanqing was designated by Premier Zhu Rongji to preside over this meeting.

Participants reached the consensus that running an unlicensed business constitutes an illegal activity. This type of activity undermines the order of the market economy, impairs fair competition, brings harms to the interests of consumers and even endangers public health and safety.

Some unlicensed business operations produce fraudulent and low-quality commodities which often give rise to grave incidents. These businesses have become a thorny problem in the process of standardizing and putting order in the market economy.

The participants held that it is essential to enact such measures in order to empower the supervisory body of the unlicensed businesses and define its duties and to provide a legal framework for dealing with the matter.

It was decided at the meeting that the measures would be revised by the State Council before officially taking effect.
