On March 30th, the seven departments jointly held a video teleconference on the 2018 national agricultural anti-counterfeiting special action, summed up the work in 2017 and the past five years, and deployed the key work of agricultural anti-counterfeiting in 2018.
Among these seven departments, there is the State Administration of Market Supervision established in accordance with the Plan for Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions.
According to industry experts interviewed by the reporter of Legal Daily, the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision means that the supervision of the market has entered a new stage.
It is not a simple merger between institutions.
The Plan for Deepening the Reform of Party and State Institutions points out that reforming the market supervision system and implementing unified market supervision are the key links to establish a unified, open, competitive and orderly modern market system. In order to improve the market supervision system, promote the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country by quality, create an honest and trustworthy market environment, further promote the comprehensive law enforcement of market supervision, strengthen the supervision of product quality and safety, and make the people feel at ease in buying, using and eating, the responsibilities of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, and china food and drug administration, The responsibilities of price supervision and inspection and anti-monopoly law enforcement of the National Development and Reform Commission, centralized anti-monopoly law enforcement of the operators of the Ministry of Commerce and the office of the the State Council Anti-monopoly Committee were integrated, and the State Administration of Market Supervision was established as a directly affiliated institution of the State Council.
"Before the reform of the party and state institutions, the functions of market supervision and management were scattered in different departments, resulting in a so-called ‘ Jiulong Water Control ’ Phenomenon. To use a common saying that people are familiar with, it is ‘ Seven or eight big caps can’t control a broken straw hat ’ . Although several departments perform their respective duties, they can’t hold a fist in market supervision, which wastes human and material resources to a certain extent and can’t supervise the market effectively and efficiently. At the same time, this has also led to food and drug fraud, illegal business operations of small business hawkers and other violations of the rights and interests of the people. " Wang Yukai, a professor at the National School of Administration, said.
The establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is considered to be an effective solution to the problem of "water control in Kowloon".
"However, it needs to be clear that the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is not a simple combination between departments, but on the basis of following market rules, it breaks down the barriers between departments in the past and regroups the functions and businesses of various departments." Wang Yukai said.
Wang Jingbo, dean of the Institute of Government under the Rule of Law of China University of Political Science and Law, also believes that the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is to realize the reconstruction, integration and convergence of "you have me and I have you" among different departments.
Form a comprehensive law enforcement team
With regard to the responsibilities of the State Administration of Market Supervision, the Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Party and State Institutions stipulates that it is responsible for comprehensive market supervision and management, uniformly registering market entities and establishing information publicity and sharing mechanisms, organizing comprehensive law enforcement of market supervision, undertaking unified anti-monopoly law enforcement, standardizing and maintaining market order, organizing the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the country by quality, supervising the quality and safety of industrial products, food safety and special equipment safety, and uniformly managing measurement standards, inspection and testing, certification and accreditation, etc.
Among these responsibilities, "organizing comprehensive law enforcement of market supervision" has attracted people’s attention.
"Comprehensive law enforcement has many meanings, both centralized and multi-departmental. The integration of departmental law enforcement teams is mainly reflected in the integration and change of administrative management. This kind of reform and adjustment has many positive meanings and highlights different from the past. For example, improve the supervision efficiency in various fields, bridge the original separation between departments, adapt to the staged expectations of economic development, and adapt to the development needs of the new economy. It can be said that this reform is based on the principle of simplification, unification and efficiency, and it is a whole-process, full-chain supervision mechanism and system that has been redefined and constructed. This reform direction is in line with the people’s hearts and is completely correct. " Wang Jingbo said.
"In the past, as long as each department had functions related to market supervision, it would set up its own law enforcement team. For example, the quality supervision department has the law enforcement team of the quality supervision department, the industrial and commercial department has the law enforcement team of the industrial and commercial department, and the food and drug supervision department also has the law enforcement team of the food and drug supervision department. Now it is different. A large overall market supervision pattern is taking shape, and the law enforcement team will be reorganized and integrated to adapt to the overall market supervision pattern. It is foreseeable that in the future, several new and comprehensive law enforcement teams will be re-planned, which can avoid the confusion of law enforcement and the lack of purpose caused by each management. " Wang Yukai said.
Wang Yukai told the "Legal Daily" reporter that after the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision, the construction and optimization of the law enforcement team will be greatly strengthened, which is of great benefit to realizing the market supervision function, maintaining the socialist market economic order, protecting the rights and interests of ordinary people from infringement, and cracking down on fraud and counterfeiting.
The regulatory capacity has been greatly improved.
The establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is undoubtedly a great change in market supervision, and a brand-new market supervision system is ready to emerge.
"In the past, decentralized supervision of various departments has now become unified centralized supervision. Under the new supervision pattern, we can form a very good institutional model in organizing market supervision and promoting comprehensive law enforcement, and truly avoid problems such as decentralized governance and overlapping functions, so that market supervision departments can better serve the people. This is also the purpose and significance of the reform of the party and state institutions. " Wang Yukai said.
"The previous supervision method was fragmented. After the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision, the supervision has the ability to integrate. Especially with the development of science and technology, technologies such as big data have been fully applied, and many information barriers have naturally been opened. Under this new regulatory pattern, the regulatory capacity will definitely be greatly improved. " Wang Jingbo said.
Wang Yukai told reporters: "Previously, many places have integrated the departments related to market supervision. It can be said that the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is natural and natural, which is of great significance to the long-term healthy development of China’s future market supervision pattern and market economic order. "
"After the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision, the supervision of the market will be strengthened. With the strengthening of this supervision, the guarantee and expectation of product quality will be higher. The higher the quality of products, the people can buy and use with confidence. In this way, we can enter a virtuous circle process, and also promote market competition more effectively, thus bringing more vitality and benefits to the long-term, sustained and healthy development of the economy and society. In addition, higher efficiency and lower administrative costs have always been the goal of government reform. Therefore, the establishment of the State Administration of Market Supervision is of great benefit to improving market order and improving people’s lives. " Wang Jingbo said.
