The 9th NPC Standing Committee has attached equal importance to
both supervisory and legislative work and made much progress, said
Li Peng, chairman of the 9th NPC Standing Committee, in Beijing
Monday.
"Over the past five years," he said in his report on the work of
the 9th NPC Standing Committee to the ongoing first session of the
10th NPC Monday morning, "the NPC Standing Committee has checked
the enforcement of 22 laws and legal decisions, and heard and
deliberated 40 special work reports by the State Council, the
Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate."
Checking up on law enforcement and hearing and deliberating work
reports of the State Council and the Supreme Court and
procuratorate are the two basic ways for the NPC Standing Committee
to exercise supervision, Li noted.
The check up on the enforcement of the agriculture law and the
criminal procedure law have helped promote the development of
agriculture and rural economy and discovered a number of common
problems and typical cases, he added.
Apart from hearing and deliberating the central government's budget
and audit reports and the State reports on plans at the annual NPC
full sessions, the 9th NPC Standing Committee also heard and
deliberated a number of additional reports submitted by the State
Council concerning the country's reform, opening up and economic
development, said Li.
The Standing Committee has also intensified efforts to monitor the
central government's budget implementation and economic work, and
make regular analysis of the country's economic situation, he
added.
The NPC Standing Committee has always focused its supervisory work
on major issues relating to reform, development and stability, as
well as issues of great public concern, said Li.
The NPC Standing Committee has also made its supervisory activities
part of its efforts to improve the existing laws, he said.
