An integrated market supervision and management system in the Yangtze River Delta will incorporate joint inspections and a unified food quality and safety information sharing platform, officials announced at a conference in Shanghai on Wednesday.

The move will make it easier to register new businesses.

Foreign investors who have set up a foreign-funded company in Shanghai or in the provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui don't need notarization or authentication if they want to invest in any of these places when they submit qualifying documentation.
