The National Development and Reform Commission will investigate and deal with relevant parties and resolutely cut off the "interest chain" behind the business environment assessment
The National Development and Reform Commission held a regular press conference in May on the 18th. A reporter asked questions that many cities reported that there were a large number of business environment evaluation rankings published in the name of "country" and "China." Different evaluation results, and some use "ranking" and "awarding" to charge fees, seriously affecting normal work.
What does the National Development and Reform Commission think about this?
How to conduct standardized management?
Jin Xiandong said that in accordance with the deployment of the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission organized and carried out China's business environment assessment and built a China's business environment assessment system that conforms to the national conditions.
The National Development and Reform Commission has organized multiple batches of business environment assessments across the country for three consecutive years, covering 31 provinces, regions and municipalities, 98 cities and 18 national-level new districts have participated in the assessment, giving full play to the assessment's leading and supervising role in optimizing the business environment , To guide and help participating cities to grasp the overall level of the local business environment, existing shortcomings, improvement directions, etc., so as to provide decision-making reference for the continuous optimization of the business environment in various regions.
Jin Xiandong pointed out that currently there are a large number of business environment evaluation rankings published in the name of "country" and "China". Most of the related evaluations are academic research, and the index system, evaluation methods, data sources, etc. used are quite different from common practices.
Some use words such as "authority" and "official" to mislead the public, some overemphasize scoring rankings, organize award ceremonies, and some take the opportunity to conduct training and charge participation fees.
The "Regulations on Optimizing the Business Environment" promulgated by the State Council at the end of 2019 clearly require that the evaluation of the business environment shall not affect the normal work of all regions and departments, or affect the normal production and operation activities of market entities or increase the burden of market entities.
No unit may use the business environment assessment to seek benefits.
Jin Xiandong said that in the next step, the National Development and Reform Commission will conscientiously implement the requirements of the "Regulations", standardize various business environment evaluations, and promote the return of evaluations to their origins.
On the one hand, strengthen source management.
For business environment assessments that have not been recognized or authorized by the state, or are still in the stage of academic research and theoretical exploration, the relevant subjects organizing the assessment should clarify the research attributes and standardize relevant expressions to avoid misleading the public and market entities.
At the same time, the National Development and Reform Commission will continue to strengthen the release and interpretation of relevant information.
Last year, the "China Business Environment Report 2020" was released for the first time, which was the first national report in the field of China's business environment assessment.
In the next step, we will continue to increase publication efforts to better play the leading and supervising role of evaluation in optimizing the business environment.
On the other hand, strengthen supervision and disposal.
It is hoped that all sectors of the society will strengthen supervision together. If you find any behavior in collecting participation fees, training fees or seeking other benefits in the name of "China Business Environment Assessment" or the National Development and Reform Commission, please give feedback to our committee through appropriate methods.
The National Development and Reform Commission will investigate and deal with relevant parties, resolutely cut off the "interest chain" behind the business environment assessment, and strictly prohibit the use of the opportunity of conducting business environment assessment to collect participation fees and training fees from local governments and market entities. It is strictly forbidden to improve In the name of ranking and awarding awards, local governments and market entities are charged with "favorable fees" and "sponsorship fees".
