Original title: The CPPCC Chairman’s Meeting made a suggestion that the construction of the "two districts" should adhere to the "national trial system" and form a number of "Beijing rules"
On July 28th, the CPPCC held a meeting of deliberative chairmen to discuss and discuss politics around the topic of "actively docking the rules of international high-level free trade agreements and promoting new progress in the construction of the’ two districts’". The joint research group of CPPCC (hereinafter referred to as the research group) proposed that to promote the docking of international high-level free trade agreement rules between the two regions, we should always adhere to the orientation of "trying the system for the country", accelerate the landing of a number of breakthrough, dynamic and effective institutional innovations, and form a number of influential "Beijing rules" and "Beijing standards".
Status quo: Beijing’s "two districts" construction has achieved positive results.
The research team believes that since the start of the construction of "two districts", the municipal party committee and government have insisted on the construction of "two districts" as an important "sub" to promote the linkage service of "five districts" and integrate into the new development pattern, focusing on key industries, key parks, institutional systems, factor supply and other fields, and grasping the breakthroughs in policies, institutional mechanisms and international development environment, and have achieved positive results in institutional innovation, forming a number of practical cases that have been promoted nationwide.
International free trade agreements involve a wide range of contents. What aspects should be emphasized in the "two regions" docking? The research team suggested that we should focus on Beijing’s advantageous industrial fields such as scientific and technological innovation, service industry opening-up and digital economy, and try our best to highlight Beijing’s characteristics.
Analysis: Service trade is the key area of the new round of international economic and trade rules reconstruction.
In the face of the unprecedented changes in the past century, the international economic and trade rules are undergoing profound changes. The research team believes that "negative list"+"national treatment before entry" has become the main feature of the new round of international investment and service trade commitments. Strengthening the "three zeros" principle of zero tariffs, zero barriers and zero subsidies is an important trend in the new round of international economic and trade rules reconstruction. In addition, service trade has become the key area of the new round of international economic and trade rules reconstruction, and digital trade is becoming the new focus of competition for rule reconstruction.
The research team pointed out that compared with international high-level free trade agreements, China not only faces the challenges of "border" measures such as market access, service industry opening, and cross-border data flow, but also involves a series of "post-border" rules such as industrial subsidies, state-owned enterprise reform, and intellectual property protection. These are the areas and directions that should be focused on in the future.
Recommendation 1: Further relax the quasi-operation of foreign investment.
The research team suggested steadily promoting the liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment. Further relax the admission of foreign capital. Introduce municipal management measures and support policies as soon as possible, and encourage and guide foreign-invested adult education and training institutions and vocational skills training institutions to develop in Beijing; Reduce the entry threshold for international medical institutions, and relax the restrictions on the establishment of departments, personnel and institutional area for international medical institutions to open hospitals and outpatient departments in the Free Trade Zone. In terms of cultivating new trade formats and new models, the research team suggested that anticancer drugs, drugs for rare diseases and over-the-counter drugs should be included in the pilot category of selling pharmaceutical products in cross-border electronic commerce, and the pilot of selling pharmaceutical products in cross-border electronic commerce should be accelerated; Promote the pilot business model of "online shopping bonded+offline self-raising" to extend from the special customs supervision area to the free trade zone, duty-free shops in the city, and cross-border e-commerce experience stores.
Recommendation 2: Explore the establishment of a "data customs"
Data security management is an unavoidable topic in the opening of digital trade. The research team suggested that the data classification and classification management system should be established and improved. Study and formulate rules for data classification and grading at the municipal level, clarify the identification standards for general data and important data, strive for support at the national level, and select some industries and enterprises to carry out pilot projects for data classification and grading management.
The research team also suggested actively promoting the pilot system of "Personal Information Protection Authentication", "Data Exit Standard Format Contract" and "Cross-border Data Flow Security Agreement" to improve the efficiency of data security assessment and lay the foundation for cross-border data flow and data asset transaction. Relying on the Digital Trade Port and Beijing International Big Data Exchange, we will explore the establishment of a "data customs" and support several Beijing data cross-border hosting service platforms to explore data compliance assessment and cross-border services.
Recommendation 3: Promote the establishment of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei information sharing mechanism.
The research team proposed to explore the introduction of international specialized intellectual property service institutions and accelerate the construction of an international intellectual property trading center. Relying on big data, cloud computing, Internet of Things and other technologies, we will establish an international-oriented public service platform for intellectual property operation in the Free Trade Zone, realize one-stop service for rapid review, confirmation and rights protection of intellectual property rights, and promote the facilitation of cross-border transactions of intellectual property rights; Promote the establishment of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei intellectual property information sharing mechanism and build a regional unified intellectual property network service platform.
