Or if specialized inspection activities are still maintained, is it appropriate and feasible to conduct these two types of inspection activities according to the same order and procedures?
According to Mr. Tung, the above issues are important and need to be clarified and unified in awareness to serve as a basis for regulating the specific tasks and powers of inspection agencies as well as the order and procedures for conducting inspections.
