Enactment of Law on Administrative Coerced Implementation Proposed

A lawmaker from south China¡¯s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has proposed to the National People¡¯s Congress that the Law on Administrative Coerced Implementation be enacted promptly.

Wei Meifen, an official with the Nanning Customs Office in Guangxi, said that administrative departments undertake to implement more than 80 percent of national laws and local regulations, as well as all administrative regulations and rules.

She said that the departments make at least 100 million administrative decisions a year, most of which require the people subject to the decisions perform certain obligations.

But under the existing system, if the people subject to the administrative decisions do not implement the decisions

on their own, in most cases, administrative departments have to apply to people¡¯s courts for coerced implementation.

Administrative departments do not have the authority to coerce others to implement their decisions, she said.

She said, ¡°If administrative departments failed to be implemented, the government would be unable to play its role in administering state affairs, social affairs, and the economic cultural undertakings. Consequently, it could not foster its prestige.¡±

So, it is necessary to reform the existing coerced implementation system and formulate the Law on Administrative Coerced Implementation, she said.
