At the press conference held by the Press Center of the First Session of the 12th National People's Congress, Wang Feng answered questions from Chinese and foreign journalists on the institutional reform and functional transformation plan of the State Council.
He said that the implementation of railway reform and separation of government from enterprise will improve the comprehensive transportation system and ensure safe production.
"At present, the Ministry of Railways does not distinguish between government and enterprises. On the one hand, it bears the main responsibility of enterprise safety production, on the other hand, it bears the responsibility of government supervision. These two roles are conflicting and unscientific. "
Wang Feng said: "Now it has been straightened out from the system. Divided into two parts, each with its own responsibilities. If something goes wrong, you can also be held accountable. "
He stressed that changing the situation of separating government from enterprises in the past, introducing competition mechanism, extensively absorbing social funds and giving play to the role of social forces, "this is the proper meaning of reform in itself."
He said that through the reform and the introduction of competition mechanism, both the construction and operation of the railway will "gradually form a diversified investment pattern and a multi-directional operation pattern, and it is dynamic."
However, he stressed that the railway is different from ordinary enterprises, it is the whole network, the dispatching and command must be unified, and the construction of the whole network must be unified. 201March 1 1 Wang Feng, deputy director of the office of the central organization establishment Committee, said that the status and role of the National Development and Reform Commission should be fully affirmed. He pointed out: "Decentralization is reform, and strengthening is also reform. The same is true for focusing on the National Development and Reform Commission. On the one hand, we must let go, on the other hand, we must strengthen it. "
He said that the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has been the focus of discussion in all previous reforms because its power is relatively centralized. This reform should further increase the functional transformation of the National Development and Reform Commission. Wang Feng believes that the status and role of the National Development and Reform Commission should be fully affirmed. Too much management is a problem on the one hand; On the other hand, the macro-control system needs to be further improved, and the National Development and Reform Commission also has the task of further strengthening and improving its functions.
