CPC Central Committee adopts state leadership candidates, gov't restructuring plan (2)

DECENTRALIZED ADMINISTRATION

During Thursday's plenary session, the CPC Central Committee adopted a plan on institutional restructuring and the functional transformation of the State Council and suggested that the State Council submit it at the national legislature's session, according to the communique.

The meeting's participants vowed to push forward the reform of China's administrative system and further separate government administration from enterprises, investment, social undertakings and communal management, the communique said.

They stressed the importance of building a public service-oriented government featuring scientific function, an optimized structure, cleanness and high efficiency.

The government restructuring plan aims at simpler and decentralized administration, as well as improved administrative efficiency. To achieve that end, The CPC Central Committee has agreed that the government will steadily press ahead with "super-ministry" reform, reduce bureaucracy in administrative examinations and approval and transfer some of such responsibilities to lower levels.

The CPC Central Committee pledged to reform the social organization management system, improve and enhance macro-management, build basic systems and strengthen administration by law.

According to the communique, market and social forces will be given a greater role in allocating resources and managing social affairs, respectively.
