business activities requiring licensing

All industrial activities require licensing, so as to guarantee not only public health protection, safety and hygiene in the workplace and the safety of people and goods, but also to guarantee that land is appropriately managed and that the environment is protected through pollution prevention and reducing the hazard level of pollution. The licensing of commercial establishments is currently, as a general rule, under the exclusive jurisdiction of local government. The issue of construction licences and licenses of use, for private works, is governed by legislation, particularly town planning and building legislation and regulations.
