On June 14, at the State Council Information Office's regular briefing on deepening the reform of the State Council's policies in key areas of the business environment, some media asked: What is the current situation of the rule of law in my country's business environment? What are the next steps to consider?
In this regard, Yuan Da, deputy secretary-general of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that in recent years, China's business environment system has been continuously improved. Laws and regulations have been promulgated one after another. All regions and departments actively implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, accelerate the optimization of the business environment, formulate and implement a number of local laws and regulations and departmental rules, and improve the legal protection by innovating systems and mechanisms, strengthening coordination and linkage , continuously improve the level of rule of law in China's business environment, and create a stable, fair, transparent, and predictable good environment for various business entities to invest and start businesses. In the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will adhere to the problem orientation, further break through the blocking points, and improve the level of legalization of the business environment. Focus on three aspects:
The first is to improve the legal system of the business environment. Accelerate the completion of the revision and abolition of regulatory policy documents that are inconsistent with the requirements of the "Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment", and continue to improve the "1+N+X" regulatory policy system for optimizing the business environment. "1" here refers to the national "Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment", "N" refers to individual regulations and policies in related fields formulated by various departments, and "X" refers to supporting regulations and policies issued by various regions. While consolidating the existing reform achievements, the effective and long-term practices will be gradually upgraded to institutional norms. Continuously improve the policy formulation and implementation mechanism, strictly implement the requirements of evaluation and demonstration, public solicitation of opinions, and legality review when formulating enterprise-related policies, and fully listen to the opinions of relevant enterprises before the introduction of major enterprise-related policies.
The second is to standardize administrative law enforcement involving enterprises. Deepen and promote comprehensive regulatory reforms, improve the benchmark system for administrative discretion, and prevent "arbitrary law enforcement, different penalties for similar cases, and excessive penalties." According to the credit status of enterprises, take differentiated regulatory measures. It is strictly forbidden to request a general suspension of production and business without legal procedures, and to put an end to "one size fits all" and "sports-style" law enforcement. Comprehensively implement cross-departmental joint "double random, one open" supervision, further expand the scope and frequency of multi-department joint supervision, improve supervision methods, promote the sharing and mutual recognition of supervision information, and avoid multiple law enforcement and repeated inspections.
The third is to strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of business entities. Promote the improvement of a modern property rights system with clear ownership, clear rights and responsibilities, strict protection, and smooth circulation, strictly implement judicial policies for property rights protection, and clarify and unify judicial standards. Comprehensively promote the rapid settlement system for intellectual property disputes. Strengthen the publicity and interpretation of policies that benefit enterprises, and improve the awareness and sense of acquisition of laws and policies related to enterprises. Use big data and other means to realize the precise push of preferential policies for enterprises, and promote the rapid realization of preferential policies for enterprises and enjoy all the benefits they deserve.
