9. Accelerating reform of the administrative system and intensifying government self-improvement.

行政管理体制改革是深化改革的重要环节，是政治体制改革的重要内容，也是完善社会主义市场经济体制的必然要求。改革的总原则和要求是：坚持以人为本、执政为民，坚持同发展社会主义民主政治、发展社会主义市场经济相适应，坚持科学民主决策、依法行政、加强行政监督，坚持管理创新和制度创新，坚持发挥中央和地方两个积极性。要着力转变职能、理顺关系、优化结构、提高效能，形成权责一致、分工合理、决策科学、执行顺畅、监管有力的行政管理体制。　　

Reform of the administrative system is an important link in deepening reform, an important part of the reform of political institutions, and an essential step in improving the socialist market economy. In reforming the administrative system, we should adhere to the following general principles and requirements: We must put people first and govern for the people. We should see to it that this reform proceeds in line with development of socialist democracy and the socialist market economy. Decisions must be made scientifically and democratically; the government must be run in accordance with the law, and administrative oversight needs to be strengthened. We need to make innovations in management and institutions and make full use of the initiative of both the central government and local governments. Efforts should be focused on changing functions, straightening out inter-departmental relationships, improving the structure and raising efficiency in order to develop an administrative system in which powers are commensurate with responsibilities, the division of work among departments is appropriate, decisions are scientific, enforcement is carried out smoothly and oversight is effective. 　

第一，加快转变政府职能。这是深化行政管理体制改革的核心。健全政府职责体系，全面正确地履行政府职能，努力建设服务型政府。在加强和改善经济调节、市场监管的同时，更加注重社会管理和公共服务，维护社会公正和社会秩序，促进基本公共服务均等化。重视发挥行业协会、商会等组织的作用。　

First, we must accelerate the transformation of government functions. This is central to deepening reform of the administrative system. We need to improve the division of responsibilities among government departments, ensure that all departments properly execute their functions and strive to build a service-oriented government. While improving regulation of the economy and the market, we must increase efforts to improve public administration and public services, safeguard social justice and order, and ensure equal access for all to basic public services. We will attach great importance to the role of civil organizations such as industrial associations and chambers of commerce in this area.　　

第二，深化政府机构改革。这次国务院机构改革方案，主要围绕转变职能，合理配置宏观调控部门的职能，调整和完善行业管理机构，加强社会管理和公共服务部门，探索实行职能有机统一的大部门体制；针对职责交叉、权责脱节问题，明确界定部门分工和权限，理顺部门职责关系，健全部门间的协调配合机制。国务院机构改革方案将提交本次大会审议。　

Second, we must deepen reform of government bodies. Our current plan for the reform of bodies of the State Council mainly centers on changing the way the government functions, appropriately dividing responsibilities among departments that exercise macroeconomic regulation, adjusting and improving bodies in charge of industrial management, and improving departments responsible for public administration and public services. The plan explores ways to establish larger departments that organically integrate the functions of smaller departments. To resolve the problem of overlapping responsibilities and of powers not being matched by responsibilities, the plan clearly defines the responsibilities and powers of each department, clarifies the relationship of responsibilities among departments, and improves the mechanism for interdepartmental coordination and cooperation. The plan will be submitted to you for deliberation and approval.　　

第三，完善行政监督制度。坚持用制度管权、管事、管人。加强行政权力监督，规范行政许可行为。强化政府层级监督，充分发挥监察、审计等专门监督的作用。自觉接受社会各个方面的监督。推行行政问责制度和政府绩效管理制度。切实加强公务员队伍建设。严肃法纪政纪，坚决改变有令不行、有禁不止的现象。大力推行政务公开，健全政府信息发布制度，完善各类公开办事制度，提高政府工作透明度，创造条件让人民更有效地监督政府。　

Third, we must improve the mechanism of administrative oversight. We need to use institutions to oversee the exercise of power, the handling of government affairs and the management of personnel. We will strengthen oversight of the exercise of administrative power and standardize procedures for administrative approval. We will strengthen the mutual oversight between higher- and lower-level authorities, get oversight bodies such as supervision and auditing departments to fully play their role, and conscientiously accept oversight by all sectors of society. We will adhere to the administrative accountability system and government performance management system. The competence of public servants will be strengthened. We will strictly enforce the law and the code of conduct for government employees and resolutely put a stop to non-compliance with government decrees and continued occurrences of banned practices. We will strive to make government affairs more open by enhancing the government information release system and improving the various types of administrative systems for transparency in government affairs to increase the transparency of government functions and create conditions to enable the people to oversee the government more effectively.　

第四，加强廉政建设。要把反腐倡廉建设放在更加突出的位置，旗帜鲜明地反对腐败。坚持标本兼治、综合治理、惩防并举、注重预防的方针，扎实推进惩治和预防腐败体系建设。特别要解决权力过分集中和缺乏制约的问题。从根本上加强制度建设，规范财政转移支付、土地和矿产资源开发、政府采购、国有资产转让等公共资源管理。加大专项治理力度，重点解决环境保护、食品药品安全、安全生产、土地征收征用与房屋拆迁等方面群众反映强烈的问题，坚决纠正损害群众利益的不正之风。大力提倡艰苦奋斗，坚决制止奢侈浪费。严肃查处各类违法违纪案件，深入开展治理商业贿赂，依法严惩腐败分子，决不姑息。

Fourth, we will strengthen efforts to ensure clean government. We will attach even greater importance to combating corruption and encouraging integrity, and fight corruption unequivocally. We will effectively improve the system for preventing and punishing corruption in accordance with the principle of addressing both the symptoms and root causes of corruption and taking a dual approach that combines prevention and punishment, with the emphasis on prevention. In particular, we need to tackle the problems of excessive concentration of power and lack of checks on power. We will address fundamentals to improve regulations and institutions and standardize management of public resources such as transfer payments, development of land and mineral resources, government procurement and the transfer of state-owned assets. We will strengthen special campaigns to address people's pressing concerns related to problems concerning environmental protection, food and drug safety, workplace safety, land acquisition and expropriation, and housing demolition, to resolutely stop irregular practices that hurt public interests. We will strongly advocate hard work and plain living and firmly oppose extravagance and waste. We will prosecute all violations of the law and discipline, strictly curb bribery in business, resolutely bring corrupt people to justice and prosecute them to the full extent of the law.
