In order to implement the major decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on promoting high-quality development, building a market-oriented, legalized and internationalized first-class business environment, further promote the construction of a unified national market, promote the healthy development of private economy, and urge the solution of prominent problems affecting the construction of business environment, "Internet+supervision" platform of the State Council From now on, we will collect 5 questions and suggestions from the society:

First, there are clues to problems hindering market access and exit.

1. Restrict the entry of non local business entities. Relevant localities and units set unreasonable conditions in the form of filing, registration, annual inspection, identification or establishment of branches to raise the access threshold for non local business entities.

2. Set unreasonable business barriers. Relevant localities and units exclude and restrict business entities from participating in bidding, government procurement and other activities on the basis of registration place, ownership, organizational form and other conditions.

3. Restrict market exit. Relevant localities and units set obstacles for cross regional operation or relocation of enterprises by means of listing in the abnormal operation list, suspending the handling process, deliberately delaying, etc; In order to unilaterally pursue the growth of the number of business entities in the region or fail to seriously implement the "One Network Access" system for enterprise cancellation, it is difficult for enterprises to cancel.

The second is the clue of problems that hinder fair competition in the market.

1. Abuse of administrative power to eliminate and restrict competition. Relevant localities and units force, organize and guide operators to reach monopoly agreements, abuse market dominance or implement other acts of excluding and restricting competition by means of administrative orders, administrative authorization, administrative guidance or through industry associations and chambers of commerce.

2. Implement local protection. Relevant localities and units shall take discriminatory measures against foreign and imported goods and services, implement various preferential policies for local protection, and apply discriminatory treatment to local investments or branches established by foreign operators.

3. Use advantageous position to carry out unfair competition. Relevant state-owned enterprises and large enterprises abuse their market advantages and prevent private enterprises, small and medium-sized enterprises and other business entities from participating in fair market competition.

4. Restricted operation and designated transactions. Relevant localities and units illegally set up franchise rights or granted franchise rights to operators without fair competition, limiting the operation, purchase and use of goods and services provided by specific operators.

The third is the clue of problems affecting government services and administrative efficiency.

1. The government service is inconvenient. The relevant local and unit government service places are not centralized, the windows are set unreasonably, the number of government mobile applications is large, and the registration is repeated, forcing online reservations or online submission of materials; The efficiency of the government service hotline is not high, the complaint and suggestion mechanism is not perfect, and the key issues and requirements of "efficiently doing one thing" are not carefully implemented.

2. The government service is not standardized. Relevant localities and units have added additional processing links and application materials in a disguised form in the approval process, and the systems of first inquiry responsibility, one-time notification and completion within a time limit have not been fully implemented.

3. Government data is not shared. Relevant local and unit systems are not connected, data is difficult to share, electronic license data sharing applications are not in place, data sharing verification items still require physical licenses or paper materials, credit information is not connected between different credit management platforms, and credit repair progress is inconsistent.

4. The law enforcement inspection is not standardized. The relevant local and unit law enforcement inspection lacks reasonable overall arrangement, too much and too frequently, is simple and rough, and is extremely light and heavy, which affects the normal production and operation of enterprises; Relevant staff take the opportunity to eat, get cards and seek personal gains.

5. The communication between government and enterprises is not in place. Before the introduction of relevant local and unit policies, the opinions of enterprises were not fully listened to and absorbed. After the introduction, the publicity, interpretation and public opinion guidance were insufficient. The policy adjustment and implementation were "one size fits all" and "sharp turns". The government and enterprises lacked a regular communication and exchange mechanism, and the construction of a pro government business relationship was not in place.

The fourth is the clue to the problem of infringing the legitimate rights and interests of the business entity.

1. The government promises are not fulfilled. Relevant local and unit inward investment promotion, regardless of the actual policy preferences, but with various excuses to delay the implementation; In case of no disagreement, the enterprise's accounts are in arrears.

2. Interference with enterprise operation in violation of regulations. Relevant localities and units intervene in economic disputes in violation of regulations, seal up and detain frozen property beyond their authority, scope, amount and time limit, arbitrarily restrict the freedom of private entrepreneurs, and affect the legal production and operation of private enterprises.

3. The industry associations and chambers of commerce charge fees arbitrarily. The relevant associations and chambers of commerce force the membership and charge fees, or charge fees based on administrative influence, or charge fees in violation of regulations through evaluation and standard recognition, professional qualification recognition, etc.

4. Intermediary service agencies charge fees arbitrarily. Intermediaries engaged in inspection, testing, evaluation, certification, authentication, notarization and other businesses, monopolistic operations, compulsory services, unreasonable charges, etc.

5. Intellectual property protection is not in place. Relevant localities and units failed to implement the punitive compensation system for intellectual property infringement, the rapid handling mechanism for intellectual property infringement and administrative non litigation enforcement, and the review of trademark applications from business entities was slow.

Fifth, clues to problems affecting the expansion of opening up.

1. The customs clearance service is not convenient. The lack of cooperation and cooperation between relevant local authorities and units in port inspection, supervision and law enforcement, and low work efficiency lead to low customs clearance efficiency at border ports, affecting enterprises' import and export trade, etc.

2. Implement discriminatory measures against foreign-funded enterprises. In addition to the explicit provisions of laws and regulations or the national security field, relevant localities and units exclude or discriminate against foreign-invested enterprises and their products and services by limiting their brands or using foreign brands as a reason, and set additional conditions for foreign-invested enterprises and their products and services to enjoy policies.

At the same time, we will collect opinions and suggestions on the government's construction of a market-oriented, legalized and world-class business environment.

The Supervision Office of the General Office of the State Council will summarize and sort out the problem clues, opinions and suggestions received, and urge relevant local authorities and departments to study and deal with them in a timely manner. The Supervision Office of the General Office of the State Council will directly send personnel to supervise important clues that have been strongly reflected by business entities and the masses, and are universal and typical. If it is verified to be true, it will be dealt with seriously according to laws and regulations.
