Subsidy etc. review committee (review of subsidy)

The subsidy is money with administrative purpose that is provided from the national government to the local government, from the local government (prefecture) to the municipality (municipality), from the municipality or the government to the private sector.
By effectively utilizing subsidies, it will be an effective means for regional revitalization and industry promotion. On the other hand, however, the following problems have been pointed out from the past.

• Application procedure for benefits is complicated, accompanied by enormous administrative processing
• There are a lot of judgment criteria by the benefit provider varying, and the judgment ground is uncertain
• Specific effects due to benefits are hard to see
• Benefits are vested, while it is difficult to review
