In the Xiamen Administrative Service Center, located on the 3rd floor of the "multi-regulation" engineering construction approval service hall and engineering construction approval comprehensive service hall, with more than 30 units, including construction, planning, environmental protection, municipal landscaping, transportation, water conservancy and other municipal departments and electric power, gas, telecommunication, cable TV, and other public **** service Department. Enterprises here can "a window acceptance, one-stop approval, one-stop service, a window charge", greatly reducing the "cover a hundred charts chapter, slow,
multiple running" situation. This picture is from the surging news
March 18, 2019, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, vice minister of Huang Yan in the State Council regular meeting, on the comprehensive implementation of the reform of the approval system for engineering and construction projects related to the situation of the reporter's question, said that in the pilot areas and the relevant departments of the **** with the efforts of the pilot areas to achieve the examination and approval time by more than half, from an average of more than 200 working days to 120 working days, forming a batch of replicable and generalizable experience, laying a solid foundation for the reform of the approval system for engineering and construction projects nationwide in 2019. In accordance with the deployment requirements of the State Council, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, together with relevant departments, has studied and drafted the Implementation Opinions on Comprehensively Carrying Out the Reform of the Approval System of Engineering and Construction Projects, which has been considered and adopted by the State Council Standing Conference on February 20, 2019, and will soon be issued in the name of the General Office of the State Council.
Time back to eight months ago, Jingdong's Xiamen Xunzan Logistics Company Limited construction manager Pan Lihua August 3, 2018 to the surging news reporter, Jingdong Asia One Xiamen Tong'an Logistics Park land in August 2017 in the land market through auction and listing obtained in December to get the construction permit, "four months has been sort of The preliminary work is very smooth. In a month or so, this project will enter the completion and acceptance stage."
In fact, enterprises from the project site to the completion of the acceptance of the record, there are laws, regulations and policies for the approval of nearly 90 matters involving housing, urban and rural construction, development and reform, natural resources, ecological environment, water conservancy, transportation, earthquake, human defense, national defense science and industry, more than 20 departments. And in Xiamen from city to district involves more than 200 departments and units. Pan Lihua reported the process of construction may encounter problems and troubles, can be imagined.
And these troubles are going to disappear - the pilot city of Xiamen since August last year, the implementation of the "engineering construction project approval system reform", will be sorted out and decomposed out of the 89 matters, through the strengthening of the pre-planning and assessment, and then re-engineering of the approval process, streamlining Approval matters, simplify the approval procedures and other measures, and strive to solve the enterprise in the process of engineering and construction approval process reflected in the long processing time, through the complicated procedures, the submission of materials and other issues.
Meanwhile, this reform has been pushed at the national level.In May 2018, the State Council issued the Notice on the Pilot Reform of the Approval System for Engineering and Construction Projects (State Council [2018] No. 33), which is being implemented in pilot cities in the east, center, west, and in both developed and underdeveloped regions. The ultimate goal, is to strive to basically establish a scientific, convenient, efficient and unified system of approval and management of engineering and construction projects nationwide by 2020, and to form a basic system for the whole country.
Transforming government functions: approval of engineering and construction projects is the focus, the difficulty and the key
Beijing East Xiamen Logistics Park is a new warehousing and logistics project located in Xiamen Tongan District, Wuxian Town. The park includes two areas, east and west, *** there are 6 warehouses, other buildings also include sorting centers, equipment rooms and ancillary rooms, industrial garbage rooms and domestic garbage rooms, janitorial and bicycle sheds, etc., covering an area of about 270,000 square meters, with a total planned construction area of 228,700 square meters.
The goal is to build a regional e-commerce operation center, an intelligent logistics demonstration base, a regional procurement center, an e-commerce aggregation park, and in the future to become an e-commerce base and logistics hub center in Fujian.
"It's really confusing to do the construction report sometimes." Pan Lihua, who is responsible for Xiamen Xunzhan's construction work in the entire South China region, cited as an example, "The site in the four to the scope of which road to open the gate, which belongs to the Planning Commission for approval, and municipal gardens do not care about the gate to open where, but rather, the pipe to open the mouth of how big. We ran through the Planning Commission's review, municipal gardening said the gate 20 meters wide can not, only in 7 meters, 9 meters and 12 meters in the three options. Then the location of the duty room previously designed on the drawings will have to move with it, and accordingly, greening, fire protection, human defense have to be changed. It would have been better if all the requirements had been communicated to the companies at once at the beginning."
There are many other things that bother her, such as the fact that the approval system for engineering and construction projects varies between cities in South China.
"Take the city support fee, Xiamen does not have it, but in Fuzhou, Zhangzhou is to be charged separately, and the standard of charging tens of yuan per square meter is still different. Relatively speaking, Xiamen's process will be simpler. Enterprises into a city to do the project, the construction department to the project involves all the terms and conditions, administrative costs are listed in the contract planning, as the basis for applying for payment, if there is an omission to report the cost of the later to use, are to re-apply with the company to set up the project is considered to be a workplace error. And the rules are different in each place, if unified, manpower can also be greatly saved." Pan Lihua said.
Pan Lihua's wish will soon come true. on November 23, 2018, the Fujian Provincial Government issued a document to promote the reform of the province's engineering and construction project approval system. Fujian Province said that in 2019, the province summed up the replication and promotion of Xiamen's pilot experience, under the premise of ensuring the quality of the project and the quality of construction, to maximize the simplification of the prior approval links, and the establishment of a new mechanism of supervision in the aftermath of the incident with credit supervision as the core.
China's business environment global ranking: from 78th to 46th
Generally speaking, a company's construction department is responsible for coordinating the various authorities involved in the pre-development phase of a project to improve the various specific formalities and to ensure that the development plan is implemented smoothly. In the case of Xiamen, the relevant authorities include the Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Planning Commission, the Land and Real Estate Bureau, the Transportation Bureau, the Water Conservancy Bureau, the Environmental Protection Bureau, the Landscape Architecture Bureau, the Commerce Bureau, the Economic and Information Bureau, the Seismic Bureau, and even the Fire Services Detachment, the Office of the People's Liberation Army, the Power Supply Company, the Gas Group, and other units of various sizes, just to name a few.
Just in the working day to go to all the relevant departments to run once, may need ten days and a half months, to set the chapter, counting the approval of the various departments of the time, the program's modification time, wait until the project formally started, may have passed the majority of the half year, the cost of business time, the cost of capital have greatly increased.
Chinese engineering and construction project approval time originally required an average of more than 200 working days. This is one of the most criticized points in the World Bank's previous evaluation of China's business environment.
In October 2017, the World Bank released a report evaluating the business environment in 192 economies around the world, and China's overall score ranked 78th, with the indicator of dealing with construction permits ranked 172nd, which is lower than that of Russia and Brazil.
In order to optimize the business environment, but also to deepen the "decentralization, decentralization, optimization of services" reform, the State Council requires that Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen, Shenyang, Zhejiang Province, including the "15 +1" pilot areas to achieve the project construction projects. The State Council asked the "15+1" pilot areas, including Beijing, Shanghai, Xiamen, Shenyang and Zhejiang Province, to realize that the approval time for construction projects should be reduced to 120 working days.
On June 4, 2018, Vice Premier of the State Council Han Zheng pointed out at the "Pilot Symposium on the Reform of the Approval System for Engineering and Construction Projects" in Xiamen that "we have been talking about transforming the functions of the government, in which the very key issue is the reform of the administrative approval system, and the approval of engineering and construction projects is the focus, the difficulty and the key to the administrative approval. "
33 clearly put forward the "five one", namely "a blueprint" clear construction conditions, "a system" to implement unified management, "a window" to implement unified management, "a window" to implement unified management, "a window" to implement unified management, "a window" to implement unified management, "a window" to implement unified management, "a window" to implement unified management. "One window" provides comprehensive services, "one form" integrates declaration materials, and "one set of mechanism" regulates the operation of approval.
After more than a year of efforts, the World Bank's Doing Business 2019 report released on October 31, 2018, showed that a series of reforms undertaken by China to improve its business environment have been effective, with its global ranking jumping to 46th from 78th a year ago.
Xiamen is one of the cities at the forefront. After the implementation of the reform, the Jingdong Xiamen Logistics Park project, which is a general social investment project in the engineering and construction projects, from obtaining the land to the registration of property rights, the approval time is controlled within 70 working days.
The Xiamen Municipal Administrative Service Center Management Committee said in January this year to do a summary of the work of 2018, the development of engineering and construction project approval system reform implementation plan, a clear 89 reform tasks, the publication of eight categories of project approval flow charts and approval of the matters of the reform list, the realization of the financial investment and financing of housing and construction projects, linear engineering projects from the stage of declaring the establishment of the project land use planning permits to the handling of property right Registration, the approval time is controlled within 90 working days; general social investment projects from obtaining land to the registration of property rights, the approval time is controlled within 70 working days; with the program of land transfer social investment projects and small social investment projects from obtaining land to the registration of property rights, the approval time is controlled within 50 working days, than the general time limit for the approval of social investment projects has been compressed by 28.5 percent.
The new process has been in operation since September 1, 2018, and so far, 751 projects in the city*** have been operated according to the new process, 242 projects have completed the joint examination of multiple drawings, 10 projects have applied for the multi-measurement of one, and 18 projects have applied for the joint acceptance. It has strengthened joint technical guidance, deepened regional integrated assessment, built a rapid approval mechanism for small-scale social investment projects, and further compressed the time limit for approval of small-scale social investment projects to 50 working days. We have promoted the enactment, reform and abolition of local laws and regulations, sorted out 27 reform opinions and submitted them to the Ministry of Housing and Construction, and formed more than 300 reform documents and systems. Innovating the regulatory mode of approval intermediaries, 64 intermediary service matters were included in the online intermediary hall, 529 intermediary organizations were stationed there, 3,481 investment projects completed the online contract signing, and 1,216 projects completed the services and received evaluations. Significantly streamlining the applicant's declaration materials, from the establishment of the project to the completion and acceptance of the required application materials from 373 items in series before the reform to 76 items in parallel after the reform, **** reduced by 297 items.
Commissioned by Xiamen University Business Environment Assessment Center third-party assessment system, 100% of the engineering and construction project approval departments stationed in the center to implement third-party assessment. To serve major key construction projects as the focus of work, 815 key construction projects 1790 times the approval of approval matters approval service time limit compressed to within 35% of the statutory time limit, has been closed 1369, closed 680 ahead of schedule, early closing rate as high as 49.67%.
Promoting the commitment system, enterprises do things on credit
"The city is going to give us a corporate training reform program. I see inside canceled the project temporary water, construction electricity and formal electricity, gas application link, in the original these are to be declared separately, the process is quite a lot. 'Multi-diagram joint review', 'multi-measurement', 'joint acceptance', it solves the problem of repeated design that I mentioned earlier. The opinions and standards of the planning, fire-fighting, municipal, gardening, human defense, secondary water supply, and lightning protection departments are told to me at once, so that I can consider the reduction of problems in a unified manner. The technical guidance from the municipal and gardening departments has already been communicated to the planning department in advance, and in the end, it only needs the planning department to come and accept the project. This is too simple."
"This time also canceled the construction unit payment bond, contractor performance bond and so on. A commitment system has been introduced, and companies are working on credit. For example, a group of companies like us, the place of registration is not in Xiamen, the bank can not come out of the guarantee, only to find a guarantee company. To find a guarantee company must first tender, which will take a long time.
Our logistics park project this time, first paid 15 million yuan to the guarantee company, but also a deposit of 1.09 million yuan, before I open the letter of guarantee. There are projects that are very long, and the liquidity that companies deposit is substantial. Now it's really great." Speaking of the streamlining of process matters, Pan Lihua sighed repeatedly, "Our logistics warehouse and the second phase, but also in Xiamen to continue to do. The time cost is reduced, the construction cost is naturally reduced."
Related staff in Xiamen City told reporters that in strengthening supervision and management mechanisms, will establish a blacklist system, docking national engineering construction approval credit information platform, build "a breach of trust, everywhere subject to" the joint disciplinary mechanism. If the enterprise re-registers and applies for qualification, it will cost a considerable portion of the capital, as well as time and labor costs, and the loss of credit is not worth it.
Sounds wonderful, but the reduction of matters again, optimize the process again, enterprises still have to deal with so many departments. Pan Lihua said, go to the administrative service center one-stop processing can be, the district, the city have, enterprises can be close to the process. The reporter came to the Xiamen City Administrative Service Center, located in Xiamen City, Huli District, Yunding North Road, a site visit.
"Multi-gauge" engineering and construction approval service hall and engineering and construction approval of integrated service hall is located on the third floor of the center, the two halls are equipped with more than 30 units, including construction, planning, environmental protection, municipal gardens, transportation, water conservancy and other municipal departments and electricity, gas, telecommunications, cable TV and other public **** service departments. The second floor of the first floor is a more direct relationship with residents, more business land resources and real estate integrated service hall, social security integrated service hall and so on.
In a prominent position on the third floor, there are postings of the online declaration and handling process for engineering and construction projects, a flow chart for the approval of financial investment and financing engineering and construction projects, and a guide to each department, with small displays showing specifics of the reforms and large displays showing the progress of each declaring unit.
The official website shows that, in addition to the vehicle and driving license hall, port inspection hall, immigration license hall, Xiamen, Xiamen City departments and subordinate units of all administrative approval and supporting public **** service projects into the municipal administrative service center to centralize the process. Xiamen Municipal Administrative Service Center to "convenient, efficient, open, clean" as the service concept, the implementation of "a window acceptance, one-stop examination and approval, one-stop service, a window charge" mode of operation; the development and implementation of appointment service, parallel approval, service We have developed and implemented a series of convenient and efficient working systems, such as appointment service, parallel approval, service commitment, and key projects handling on behalf of the public. For units with less approval volume, the Municipal Administrative Service Center has set up a comprehensive window to send and receive documents in a unified manner. For the same declaration materials required by multiple departments, the city administrative service center database will be used to achieve resource ****sharing. Each stationed unit fully authorized window staff, in accordance with the "window acceptance, internal operation, parallel approval, time-limited closing" requirements, to achieve "acceptance (acceptance), review, approval, payment, certificate (text)" processing link all in the center for completion.
In the Jimei Administrative Service Center, a Xiamen Residential Construction Group Co., Ltd. staff with more than a dozen project information in different windows one by one. He has a number of projects currently in different nodes. The project needs to be handled at the same time before the parallel matters, as long as the materials submitted in a window, the window receiving staff will be based on the type of project, the information sent to the departments that need to accept, after the approval, he only need to come to this same window to get a license.
"On behalf of the owner" in advance for the land project planning
and Xiamen Housing Construction Group Co., Ltd. belongs to the state-owned Xiamen Anju Construction Company, in the construction project belongs to the financial investment and financing of the housing construction category. Xiamen Anju Construction Company is specialized in security housing and public **** rental housing related business of public welfare enterprises, mainly engaged in security housing and public **** rental housing financing, construction and operation management.
Lian Xiaoli, a construction commissioner, said the progress of protected housing projects is demanding, from project generation to the start of the project, it takes three months if things go well, and from the start of the project to acceptance, the cycle is mostly in two and a half to three and a half years.
The reform in Xiamen calls for such projects to be approved within 90 working days. Lian Xiaoli said that before the reform, land use approval must wait for the municipal government to approve the red line of land use. If the project's land is the auction of net land, ripe land, the smoothest also need to wait a month for the red line approval. If it involves agricultural conversion should be reported to the provincial department, two months to hit the bottom. Only after the approval, you can go through the process. This reform, the project design does not have to wait for the land approval, as long as the approval procedures in the project before the start of construction on the line. Once the design is out, it can be sent to the planning department first.
She also mentioned the reform of "cancel the payment bond", "the bank can save a week to open the policy. We are a state-owned enterprise, the project is a financial allocation, which is supposed to be a government project, and then we have to provide a letter of guarantee just to prove that 'my mother is my mother'."
In the 89 matters combed out, the Xiamen Municipal Planning Commission is responsible for 56 of them, of which 34 are hosted and 22 are co-organized.
The Xiamen Planning Commission Chief Engineer Office in charge of Li Yu said that the prior work is the most fundamental, fast and efficient approval of the link is the premise that there is no contradiction in the conflict of an overall plan.
Traditional approval often wait until the owner appears, the owner to run the relevant approval departments. Now it is on behalf of the owners of the model, the Planning Commission a year in advance to do the next year's project preparations, the government first to complete the planning of a piece of land - how high the building, what is the nature of the need to demolish and relocate the first intervention in the acquisition of land and demolition of the first, the agricultural conversion of the first intervention in the agricultural conversion of formalities to constrain the approval of the link. By the government departments to do a good job of planning and then submitted for approval, and so on the land auction, the owner already has a complete project planning conditions.
Into the approval process is to do streamlining, the Planning Commission is mainly to reduce the pre-conditions, to reduce the departments clamp down on each other.
Lee said, "We now use the site pre-approval as the basis for approval of construction planning permits, originally from the site pre-approval to the land red line approval of at least three or four months. For the construction land planning permit is the elimination of two pre-requisites - the announcement of the demolition or land acquisition completion certificate.
"Another major reform is the merger of 14 matters of approval procedures. Before the reform, the approval of 14 tandem links took almost a hundred days, and after merging them into one link, it only took 18 days.
"Licensing is lax to facilitate approval and the government is obliged to provide an excellent business environment for creditworthy developers, but that doesn't mean there's no regulation of businesses. The Planning Commission will launch a random check mechanism internally and commission a third-party agency to conduct a substantive review of the declaration, and if the commitment is not genuine, the license will be withdrawn, blacklisted, and the penalty will be doubled. If the commitment is genuine, the enterprise is simply unaware of this link."
"Improving the business environment is in accordance with the law rather than condoning it"
Whether it's 200 days compressed to 120 days or 120 days further compressed to 90 or 70 days, it's never easy for the relevant departments to coordinate with each other.
To this end, Xiamen City has established more than 220 rules and regulations involving top-level design, departmental coordination, supervision and monitoring, dynamic updating, etc., and introduced the country's first "multi-disciplinary" local regulations, forming a relatively perfect and mature "set of mechanisms "
The reform of the approval system for engineering construction projects is based on law and rules and regulations.
"Although it is difficult, but the enthusiasm of the departments is there, because the reform can realize the separation of administrative approval and technical review." Zou Menglin, director of the approval department of the Xiamen Municipal Construction Bureau, said.
In terms of multi-diagram review, Zou Menglin fire as an example, "the fire department both approval and technical review, the workload and pressure are very large. The end of last year to February this year, the fire department and the review organization has been coordinating, how to identify responsibility, how to define the standard, how to accept the results. Fire is more sensitive, building fires are relatively frequent, fire review has its own regulations, qualifications are also in the fire department, it proposed to review the drawing agency to bottom, commitment to comply with all the fire regulations in order to rest assured. The review body would not dare to draw conclusions on the impasse, and finally the Fujian Provincial Department of Housing and Construction and the Provincial Fire Brigade issued a letter of coordination. Now reached a unity is that the fire department to inform the review organization in writing which is necessary to comply with the norms of the review organization in accordance with the views of the fire department to review the map, if because of the reasons for the review of the map, the building fire house, this is the main responsibility in the review of the agency, at the same time, who commissioned who is responsible for, the fire department also has to bear some responsibility. Reviewing organization because to be responsible for inevitably have to seriously review the map, the fire department to reduce some of the pressure."
In addition, Zou Menglin believes that the "joint acceptance," "multi-diagram review" is the highlight of the reform of the Ministry of Housing and Construction. Including himself, in July last year in Beijing to the Ministry of Housing and Construction in the process of reporting, many of the representatives of the participating municipalities, have raised whether this item can be used as the content of the independent choice of enterprises. The Ministry of Housing and Construction made it clear at the time that the aforementioned Document 33 was issued as a national policy and regulation and could not be loosened.
"As a matter of fact, this is highly problematic." Zou Menglin said that to improve the business environment and deepen the release of management and service, on the one hand, government departments need to reduce the number of approval links and materials for enterprises and simplify the process, and on the other hand, it is necessary to regulate the market business entities and strengthen the supervision of the incident after the event.
Zou Menglin said, "out of their own interests - time, economic maximization of the appeal, in the acceptance process, some companies are accustomed to completing how many acceptance of how much, did not complete the matter will be delayed in the back, such as municipal landscaping part of the business, some companies will wait for other acceptance approvals! Modifications down, while rectifying the side, and finally almost at the same time to complete; there are also enterprises for the benefit of playing ball, break through the laws and regulations, with a lot of excuses to delay acceptance, so that a project is bound to be a very long time, the business environment is also a kind of harm."
"As for the multi-diagram review, before the reform drawings to be sent to different departments for review, some enterprises in order to pass, will be on different departments with different drawings, the departments finally acceptance according to the drawings received, the enterprise according to the opinion of the rectification, it is likely that the other departments previously compliant with the rectification of the place is not standardized. Improve the business environment, is in accordance with the law rather than condoning, is to make the entire market are open and transparent, so that enterprises have expectations". He said, "There is a comparison, wholly foreign-owned Amazon Xiamen operations center project, the end of 2016 and early 2017, the initiative to propose a joint acceptance, this project is very standardized in all aspects of the project, half a month the relevant departments to complete the acceptance. The reform is to allow standardized enterprises to profit, and unstandardized enterprises will not be supported."
"Reform is about turning the knife inward"
Han was pointing out at the aforementioned meeting last June, "Reform is a formality if it doesn't target problems. Reform is to run to the problem, one by one to solve the problem. If you run into problems and go around them, it is not called reform. When it comes to major reforms, we have to think seriously and figure out what to do. ...... Reform can not be painless, but rather the blade should be turned inward, and the power that should be released should be put into place."
Han Zheng said, this pilot, the city's party committee government to take the main responsibility, the municipal party secretary, the mayor should be personally deployed. The reason why Xiamen has been successful in the early stage is precisely the result of the secretary and mayor taking the lead in promoting the project.
The reporter saw in a list of Xiamen City, engineering and construction project approval system reform work leading group, the leader is the mayor Zhuang Jiahan, deputy leader of the executive vice mayor Huang Qiang, deputy mayor Zhang Yigong. Chen Yuhui, deputy director of the Xiamen Municipal Government Service Center, told reporters that in June alone there were three meetings of the leading group, chaired by the municipal party secretary, mayor and vice mayor respectively.
Some experts involved in the review of the program in July, said the reform involves too many interest barriers, if not by a hand to coordinate the promotion of the various departments is difficult to a high degree of coordination.
The person in charge of the Xiamen Municipal Government Service Center Management Committee said that Xiamen's implementation of the multi-planning can be traced back as far as 2002, and every government hand has attached great importance to this reform, which has given Xiamen's current achievements. If there is no top leadership attention, perhaps the Xiamen Administrative Service Center is also stagnant in a convenient service height, and can not promote the reform of various departments for the entire engineering and construction project approval system.
"You say, each department service center window staff without certain approval authority, and a receiver what is the difference? Many of our departments that have a presence in the service center are directly staffed by the director." She said.
Xiamen's previous reforms were local reforms, and the limitations of local reforms are that they can only make some adjustments within the physical framework. "This engineering construction project approval system reform under the leadership of the Ministry of Housing and Construction, so that we feel that the promotion of local, from the national level to allow the reform of the local in the operational level really need to change the laws, regulations and measures, we can synchronize to draw the relevant departments and agencies to adjust these provisions, so that we can only do physical adjustments from the original into the integration of chemical This makes us go from only making physical adjustments to chemical integration. For us, the difficulty of promoting reform is greatly reduced, and the confidence in promoting reform is greatly increased."
