深化行政審批制度改革。中國政府全面推行行政審批制度改革,加快推進政企分開、政資分開、政事分開、政府與市場中介組織分開,促進政府轉(zhuǎn)變職能。在全面清理審核的基礎(chǔ)上,國家對行政審批事項進行了大幅度削減和調(diào)整。2001年推行行政審批制度改革以來,國務(wù)院各部門共取消和調(diào)整行政審批項目2000多項,地方各級政府取消和調(diào)整77000多項,占原有項目總數(shù)的一半以上。對于保留的行政審批項目,通過廣泛設(shè)立行政服務(wù)中心公開審批,建立行政審批電子監(jiān)察系統(tǒng)及時監(jiān)控,完善行政審批責任追究制度和信息反饋機制,提高工作效率,減少權(quán)力尋租的機會。
推進干部人事制度改革。中國堅持民主、公開、競爭、擇優(yōu),建立健全科學(xué)的干部選拔任用和管理監(jiān)督機制,提高選人用人公信度,從源頭上防治用人腐敗。中國共產(chǎn)黨先后發(fā)布《深化干部人事制度改革綱要》、《黨政領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部選拔任用工作條例》、《黨政領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部選拔任用工作監(jiān)督檢查辦法(試行)》、《黨政領(lǐng)導(dǎo)干部選拔任用工作責任追究辦法(試行)》等,對干部人事制度改革進行全面規(guī)劃,對干部選拔任用的基本原則、標準、程序、方法等作出嚴密規(guī)定,對干部選拔任用工作加強監(jiān)督。堅持德才兼?zhèn)?、以德為先的用人標準,全面推行民主推薦、民主測評、民意調(diào)查、考察預(yù)告、任前公示,以及干部交流、任職回避等制度,大力推進公開選拔和競爭上崗,推行和完善地方黨委任用重要干部票決制。
Deepening the reform in the system of administrative examina-tion and approval. The Chinese government has been going all out to push forward reform in the system of administrative examina-tion and approval, and speed up the separation of the functions of government from those of enterprises, state asset management au-thorities, public institutions and market-based intermediaries to accelerate the transformation of the functions of the government. On the basis of comprehensively sorting out matters requiring administrative examination and approval, the state has sharply reduced or adjusted such matters. Since the reform of the adminis-trative examination and approval system was launched in 2001, various departments of the State Council have cancelled and ad-justed over 2,000 items requiring administrative examination and approval, and the local governments cancelled and adjusted in total over 77,000 items which used to come under this heading. The two numbers of items added up to over half of the former total of such items. As for the rest of the items, administrative service centers have been extensively set up to openly examine and approve them, an electronic monitoring system has been established to promptly monitor such examination and approval, and an accountability sys-tem and an information feedback mechanism have been established to enhance work efficiency and reduce the possibility of rent-seeking act of power.
Promoting the reform of the cadre and personnel system. China adheres to the principles of democracy, openness, competition and merit in establishing a scientific mechanism for selecting and ap-pointing cadres as well as a management and monitoring mecha-nism in this regard, aiming at increasing public trust in its selection and appointment of cadres, and preventing and combating cor-ruption at the very source in appointing cadres. By issuing in succession the Guidelines for Deepening Reform of the Cadre and Personnel System, Regulations on the Work of Selecting and Appointing Leading Party and Government Cadres, Supervisory Measures for the Selection and Appointment of Leading Party and Government Cadres (Trial), and Accountability Measures for the Selection and Appointment of Leading Party and Government Cadres (Trial), the CPC has drawn up a comprehensive plan for reforming the cadre and personnel system, made rigorous stipula-tions regarding basic principles, standards, procedures and methods for the selection and appointment of cadres, and tightened supervi-sion over the work of cadre selection and appointment. We stick to the standards of political integrity and professional competence, with the former being the most important. We comprehensively press ahead with such systems as democratic recommendation and assessment, opinion polls, preliminary investigation report, public announcement before appointment, as well as systems of exchange of posts and recusal for cadres, and vigorously promote open selec-tion and competition for posts, and spread and improve the system of appointing cadres to important positions by local Party commit-tees through voting.
