Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 26 Premier Li Keqiang chaired a State Council executive meeting on September 26, which determined measures to promote the implementation of major foreign investment projects, reduce import tariffs on some goods, and accelerate the facilitation of customs clearance to promote a higher level of opening up; Listen to the report on the situation and prevention and control of swine plague in Africa in some places, and put forward requirements for the next step of strengthening measures.

The meeting pointed out that in response to the current complex domestic and international situation, to maintain steady and healthy economic development, we should unswervingly expand opening up, implement a more proactive opening strategy, and create a more fair, convenient, predictable and attractive foreign investment environment while continuing to expand domestic demand. First, we need to deepen the reform of "decentralization, regulation and service". Outside the negative list, foreign capital and domestic capital are treated equally, and we will implement consistent market access standards for all types of ownership enterprises and an investment management system focusing on online filing. Include qualified foreign-funded projects into the scope of major construction projects, or accelerate the adjustment and listing into relevant industrial planning according to the application and procedures, give support such as land and sea use approval, accelerate the progress of environmental assessment approval, reduce logistics costs, and promote the implementation of projects as soon as possible. Second, we should expand the scope of encouraging foreign investment, and expand the scope of application of the policy of temporarily withholding income tax on foreign reinvestment from encouraged foreign investment projects to all non prohibited projects and fields. Third, we should vigorously protect intellectual property rights and further standardize government regulation and law enforcement.

The meeting decided to reduce the import tariff rate of 1585 taxable items of industrial goods and other goods from November 1 this year to meet the needs of industrial upgrading, reducing enterprise costs and multi-level consumption of the masses. The average tax rate of mechanical and electrical equipment such as construction machinery, instruments and meters that are in great demand in some domestic markets will be reduced from 12.2% to 8.8%, and the average tax rate of textiles, building materials and other goods will be reduced from 11.5% to 8.4%, The average tax rate of some resource commodities and primary processed products, such as paper products, fell from 6.6% to 5.4%, and the same or similar commodities were reduced and consolidated. So far this year, tariff reduction measures have been introduced, which is expected to reduce the tax burden on enterprises and consumers by nearly 60 billion yuan, and China's total tariff level will drop from 9.8% of the previous year to 7.5%.

The meeting decided to accelerate the process of customs clearance facilitation. By November 1 this year, the number of regulatory documents that need to be verified in the import and export process will be reduced from 86 to 48. The list of local port charges shall be released to the public before the end of October. We will promote the reduction of compliance costs. The compliance costs of container import and export links in this year will be reduced by more than $100 compared with last year, and the coastal ports will be further reduced. Relevant departments should jointly supervise and supervise.

The meeting pointed out that since August, African swine plague has been distributed in several provinces in China. According to the deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, relevant departments and local authorities have made rapid disposal and done a lot of work. At present, the epidemic has not spread. We must continue to do a good job in prevention and control without slackening, and we must never take things lightly. First, strictly implement the responsibility of prevention and control, and the local government should take the overall responsibility for animal epidemic prevention within its jurisdiction. It is necessary to supervise and guide the epidemic areas to resolutely implement measures such as culling, disinfection and harmless treatment. It is forbidden to feed pigs with swill in epidemic provinces and surrounding provinces. We will strengthen the traceability, screening and tracking of the epidemic situation, and strictly implement the monitoring and reporting system. We will tackle key technologies such as comprehensive prevention and treatment and vaccine research and development. Second, we should strengthen joint defense and control, and strictly guard against all links. We will strengthen the supervision of pig production areas, slaughtering quarantine and transport vehicles, and the central government will provide special support. Live pigs in epidemic provinces and neighboring provinces shall not leave the province, and live pigs transferred from other places shall not pass through epidemic provinces, cut off the transmission route, and resolutely prevent diseased pork from entering the market. Third, we must ensure the supply of pork and ensure the people's needs and food safety.

Other matters were also studied.
