friction "The Energy Commission was established, the two are members of the Political Bureau Standing Committee of the Director and Deputy Director, once again the central level of energy high degree of attention, far-reaching." Professor of the Central Nationalities University School of Law, rule of law and the local government system of the Center for Renxiong Wen Zhao In an interview? "look" Newsweek interview that since the energy involved in the power, coal, oil, and price reform, market access, taxation, import and export, security and other aspects, "the existing responsibilities of the National Energy Board is difficult to cover Overall, the establishment of the National Energy Commission, help to resolve the management, decentralized management, and coordination between the long-standing. "
However, Xiong Wenzhao, "National Energy Commission" form of organization is still coordinating body of procedure of the State Council leaders, rather than the functions of an independent body, not on a legal basis of the functions of the organic co-ordination, "should be the competent authority under the principle of multi-sectoral collaborative relationship between the civil service, ie with other departments to establish effective collaboration of independent public authorities. "
2007 Report of the Seventeenth Party Congress defined the country's institutional reform ideas and direction, namely to "increase institutional integration efforts, and explore organically integrate the functions of a large sector institutions, improve inter-departmental co-ordination mechanism. Streamline and standardize the various rules of procedure coordinating agencies and their offices, the executive hierarchy, lower administrative costs and strive to resolve duplication, overlapping responsibilities, and those policies problem. "
According to this guiding principle, whether it is a sound energy management system, or most of the reform, "also need to continue to explore and improve, long way to go." Xiong Wenzhao in view, from a focus on understanding the perspective of strategic management of energy, the current committee formed the basis of energy coordinating body for the rules of procedure, very important, "but to coordinate the post, hope to establish a functional department to more effectively long-term, long term planning."
The strategic significance of the energy committee
In the past 30 years, China's energy management system deals only with changes in administration, it happened 20 times. Breadth of the changes and impact of the deep, and compared to other areas of institutional reform, but also quite rare.
March 2008, China carried out the latest in a reform of government institutions, designed to "solve the duplication, overlapping responsibilities, and those policies problem." However, the current energy management functions are still scattered in the NDRC, Ministry of Land, Central Organization Department, the SASAC, the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Science, Ministry of Environmental Protection, the State Work Safety Supervision Administration and the National Coal Board, the National Electrical Supervisor Council and other departments.
For example, the energy investment in major projects for approval and pricing power is still controlled by the State Development and Reform Commission, the upstream exploration and development of mineral resources remain with Ministry of Land Management, oil products market access right of approval is still in the Ministry of Commerce, the large energy companies the power to appoint the leader in the Central Organization Department ... ... or even the current strategy of growing role of oil and gas pipeline transportation, the administration of China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau, even the Central Oil to manage such a business.
At the same time, there is a long time and between enterprises in the energy sector, due to lack of coordination and mutual checks of the phenomenon, has not fundamentally changed. For example, staged every year since the "coal power struggle." Experts say so, coal and electricity this is closely dependent on the two downstream energy industry, but because of the lack of unified management into two shares of trail running car, the State Development and Reform Commission alone to coordinate conflicts from the price, difficult to solve the problem.
The most impressive is the beginning of 2008, snow and ice storms occurred in the face of east and south China coal supply to the grim situation, the morning of January 31 the central leading comrades of the major coal mines in Datong in-depth inspection of production line, afternoon, travel-stained understanding arrived at Qinhuangdao Port coal terminal transit cases. Energy management system that is not still involved at the highest level a lot of energy.
Moreover, the energy covered by the coal, electricity, oil, natural gas, nuclear energy and new energy and other fields, the main state-owned enterprises and more. If there is no independent and effective government institutions long-term strategic plans, annual performance assessment under the SASAC, always consider the economic benefits of state-owned enterprises will be implemented on short-term energy development, re-development, light exploration, emphasis on production reserve ... ...
In particular, the growing pressure of global climate environment, on energy development and use of more stringent constraints. At present, China promised in 2020, the carbon emissions intensity basis in 2005 decreased by 45%, non-fossil energy share of total primary energy consumption up to 15%. The new situation also requires our urgent need to establish a high standard of energy management agencies.
National Development and Reform Commission told the Macroeconomic Research Institute researcher Chang Xiuze "? Hope" Newsweek, the coordination mechanism set up rules of procedure of the highest standard of the National Energy Commission, established authority, but also the implementation of the Energy Bureau of the platform, both for enhance the effectiveness of energy management, or the drafting of energy "12 5" Planning, Energy Commission on a stable, economical, clean and safe energy supply system will play an active role.
However, the interview, some experts fear, as the National Energy Commission's office, the responsible person by the Director of the National Development and Reform Commission concurrently, may be more affected the functions of the independent National Energy Board.
"Prime Minister too tired"
Interview, "? Hope" Newsweek found that the existing procedure of coordinating agencies in the State Council set up 29 of them, similar to the National Energy Board that Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council as director or head of the coordinating body of procedure, there are seven, in addition to energy outsourcing, including the National Defense Mobilization Committee, the National Science and Technology Education Leading Group of the State Council Leading Group for Western Region Development of the State Council, the revitalization of old industrial bases in Northeast China Leading Group, the State Informatization Leading Group, the national response to climate change and energy conservation leading group . It is reported that Premier Wen held a number of rules of procedure, once head of the coordination body.
Therefore, when informed that Premier Wen Jiabao as the news director of the National Energy Commission, apart from the work of institutions for the specifications of the national energy upgrade and happy, the Bear Wenzhao deeply felt, "Prime Minister too tired." Reform of the government to tell the researchers Journal of journalists, many of the administrative work of the reason for the establishment of the State Council level coordinating body of procedure, because the department is too difficult to coordinate public relations, "he explains the true leadership attaches great importance to him, and on small and multi-sectoral, functional disharmony Catholic bishop heads the State Department also shows that difficult. If the long-term by the Prime Minister presided over so many, so complex and the Council of Ministers to coordinate and deal with the problem, too many human factors, coordination costs are too high, the long term not only inefficient and unsustainable.
