— — The first internal party regulation regulating the office space of party and government organs
Regarding the management of office space of party and government organs, the reporter combed that before the "Administrative Measures for Office Space of Party and Government Organs", the relevant management regulations at the national level were relatively scattered. For example, in 2014, the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Standards for the Construction of Office Buildings for Party and Government Organs, and this year, the State Council also promulgated and implemented the Regulations on the Administration of Building Buildings, Halls and Rooms for Government Organs and Groups.
According to the relevant person in charge of the State Organs Administration Bureau, the Measures for the Administration of Office Rooms for Party and Government Organs issued by the two offices this time is the first internal party regulation in China that uniformly regulates the management of office rooms for party and government organs at all levels at the national level. The new regulations are intended to solve six outstanding problems in the current office rooms, such as unclear responsibilities, difficulties in adjustment and excessive construction.
Since it is a "management method", the new regulations introduced this time focus more on the "management" of office space. The new regulations do not give the standards for the renewal of office space for party and government organs, but Article 10 of the new regulations makes it clear that the allocation of office space for party and government organs should strictly implement relevant standards and strictly check the area. Specifically, the National Development and Reform Commission is required to work with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Ministry of Finance to formulate and improve the standards for the construction of office buildings for party and government organs, and implement dynamic adjustment of the standards.
For supervision, the new regulations say that it is necessary to establish and improve the inspection and assessment system for office buildings of party and government organs. The inspection results of office buildings are used as the basis for management supervision, selection and appointment of cadres. The discipline inspection and supervision organs shall promptly accept the clues of office space management cases reported by the masses and transferred by relevant departments, and seriously investigate and deal with violations of discipline.

For the management of office buildings, including where the money of the house comes from, how to use and maintain the house, how to deal with illegal buildings, etc., this new regulation can be described as clear requirements and strict restrictions.
For example, the new regulations make it clear that the funds needed for the allocation of office buildings of party and government organs should be arranged through the government budget, and no sponsorship or donation in any form, no fund-raising or apportionment in any form, no loan from any other unit, no advance payment from the construction unit, and no misappropriation of various special funds is allowed.
In terms of office design, the new regulations put forward some suggestions. For example, if the office of the staff of the party and government organs has the conditions, it should be in the form of a large studio to improve the utilization rate of office space. Conference rooms, reception rooms and other service rooms can adopt detachable partition design to improve the flexibility of space use.
How to arrange office space for leading cadres in different units at the same time? The new regulations are clear. If leading cadres work in different units at the same time, they should arrange an office space in the main unit; If the main employer is far away from the part-time employer and often works in the part-time employer, after strict examination and approval, the part-time employer can arrange another office space smaller than the standard area, and vacate the office space arranged by the part-time employer within 2 months after being relieved of the part-time job.
In addition to the problem of part-time leadership, the new regulations require that "the user should take back his office space within one month after handling the transfer or retirement procedures."

— — Why introduce new regulations on "cars"?
To observe the Administrative Measures for Official Cars of Party and Government Organs issued this time, we need to briefly review the historical evolution of bus reform in China. The bus reform in China has been going on for more than 20 years since 1994, when the Central Office and the State Council issued the Regulations on the Administration of the Equipping and Use of Vehicles by Party and Government Organs.
Over the past 20 years, the standards for the use of buses in party and government organs have been changed and adjusted many times. During this period, a more important adjustment was made in 2011, when the Central Office and the State Council issued the Administrative Measures for the Use of Official Vehicles for Party and Government Organs, which clearly divided official vehicles into general official vehicles and law enforcement duty vehicles. "The establishment of general official vehicles for central and state organs should not exceed one for every 20 people" and "The exhaust capacity of general official vehicles should be below 1.8 liters (inclusive) and the price should be within 180,000 yuan".
In July 2014, the "Reform Plan for Official Car System of Central and State Organs" was promulgated, and the plan was clear: cancel general official cars, provide appropriate transportation subsidies, and the reform began from the central and state organs.
After the promulgation of the new regulations on buses in the two offices, the 2011 Administrative Measures for the Equipment and Use of Official Vehicles by Party and Government Organs was abolished. The relevant person in charge of the State Organs Administration Bureau explained that the revised official vehicle management measures focus on the full implementation of official vehicle preparation and standard management, strengthen the whole process management of equipment, use and disposal, and strive to build a new official vehicle management system to ensure its effectiveness and practicality.
Judging from the definition of buses, the new regulations refine the scope of buses, including confidential communication vehicles, emergency support vehicles, law enforcement duty vehicles, special professional and technical vehicles and other official vehicles equipped according to regulations. The new regulations have defined clear standards for all types of buses.

— — "Match" and "Use" of Bus
In the future, how to "match" and "use" buses? As mentioned above, this new bus management regulation gives a clear upper limit to the price and displacement of various types of buses.
For example, confidential communication vehicles and law enforcement duty vehicles are equipped with cars or other small buses with a price of less than 120,000 yuan and a displacement of less than 1.6 liters (inclusive).
Law enforcement duty vehicles can be adjusted to cars or other small buses with a price of less than 180,000 yuan and a displacement of 1.8 liters (inclusive) according to the needs of work. Due to special circumstances, other small buses, medium buses or large buses with a price of less than 250,000 yuan and a displacement of less than 3.0 liters (inclusive) can be properly equipped. If the official vehicle is equipped with a new energy car, the price shall not exceed 180,000 yuan.
In addition to these clear restrictions on car use, this new regulation clarifies a number of "bus principles". For example, party and government organs are not equipped with off-road vehicles in principle; Off-road vehicles shall not be used as fixed vehicles for leading cadres; Official vehicles with a service life of more than 8 years can be updated and so on.
For the emission reduction of domestic cars and buses, the new regulations also clarify that party and government organs should be equipped with domestic cars, take the lead in using new energy vehicles, and gradually expand the proportion of new energy vehicles in accordance with regulations.
In view of bus management, the relevant person in charge of the State Organs Administration Bureau also said in his interpretation that all regions are required to establish a service platform for official vehicles in light of the actual situation, and all kinds of official vehicles should be included in the platform management, and they should be used in a coordinated manner, and satellite positioning systems should be installed through information means to monitor the running track of vehicles in real time and make online statistics on mileage, expenses and other information to achieve seamless supervision.

[Expert opinion]
— — Institutionalization plus code against "four winds"
It is worth mentioning that the time when the central government issued a document to standardize office buildings and official vehicles coincides with the fifth anniversary of the implementation of the "eight regulations" of the central government. In the view of Wang Yukai, a professor at the National School of Administration, this special time node to rectify the "houses" and "cars" under public power is a new measure of institutionalizing and overweight against "four winds".
In an interview with Zhongxin.com, Wang Yukai said that regarding the use of houses and cars, this is a prominent area of the "four winds" issue, and there are many public opinions. Previously, there were many regulations on office houses and official cars, but new problems and new signs appeared constantly, and it is urgent to refine the implementation standards and clarify accountability measures in a targeted manner.
"For example, how to vacate the office space that exceeds the standard and how to use the extra area, if there is no clear requirement, it will cause ‘ There are policies above and countermeasures below ’ Various tricks to circumvent the policy began to appear. For another example, after the cancellation of general official vehicles, other types of buses such as communication security will be used, why, and what standards are there. If there is no clear stipulation, someone will call ‘ Edge ball ’ , resulting in a new private use of disguised buses. "
Wang Yukai said, on the one hand, in the construction of work style, measures and supervision should not be vague, and there must be both framework standards and implementation rules, and accountability and punishment; On the other hand, the construction of work style can’t be accomplished overnight, and new measures should be taken to solve new problems. The two documents released this time are "four winds’s new tricks" in the field of managing office buildings and official vehicles in recent years. (End)
