Provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities, separately listed cities (bureaus), the competent fisheries department (bureau), the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Finance Bureau, Fisheries Office:
Important supporting policies and safeguards as refined oil pricing mechanism reform, fishing and aquaculture domestic oil subsidies to promote fisheries development, increase the income of fishermen, fishing maintaining stability played an important role, but there are some contradictions and problems. In order to promote healthy and sustainable development of fisheries, with the consent of the State Council, from 2015 onwards, the domestic fishing and aquaculture oil subsidy policy adjustments. Notice of the matter as follows:
A subsidy policy adjustments are necessary
(A) adjustment of the domestic fisheries and aquaculture oil subsidy policy is to play the role of the price mechanism, the need to promote the environmental protection of fisheries resources. Fisheries subsidies in oil prices since 2006, a wide coverage of the policy, subsidies, large-scale, long duration, distorts price signals, and converting fishing boats Save Policy happen "backwater." In order to promote environmental protection of fisheries resources, the need for timely adjustment of prices of fisheries subsidies, the related expenditures are no longer linked to fuel consumption, fuel costs of fisheries by the price of aquatic products "follow the market" in conducting, under the relevant policy guidance, mainly through the price mechanism adjust the number of fishing vessels and practices, and effectively reduce the intensity of fishing.
(Ii) the adjustment of domestic fisheries and aquaculture oil subsidy policy to promote fishery industrial restructuring, the development needs of modern fisheries. Since 2006, prices of fisheries subsidies rigid growth, both caused by the fishery is heavily dependent on oil subsidies, but also increased the financial burden. To stimulate the healthy development of endogenous motivation fisheries, the need to maintain the existing base of support on and revitalize the capital stock, to optimize support structure, will be mainly used to cover the cost of fish production, co-ordinate the use of subsidies for individual fishermen, both efforts to protect the fundamental interests of the majority of the fishermen, and vigorously promote the conversion of vessels resolve Save fishery ecological environment restoration, construction and other long-term constraints fishing standardization of key and difficult problems of fisheries development, promote industrial restructuring, accelerate the construction of modern fisheries.
(Iii) the adjustment of domestic fisheries and aquaculture oil subsidy policy is to expand government investment, need to stabilize economic growth. Our fishing equipment behind, poor security, energy consumption and serious pollution, destructive greater resources; fishing, aids to navigation and other public infrastructure, lack of disaster prevention and mitigation capabilities; aquaculture infrastructure behind, the impact on the environment and ecology larger; fisheries fishery management foundation is weak, means of information behind. Increase the standardization of fishing boats and fishing equipment and other modern sea-cage construction, not only help protect the safety of fishermen, improve energy saving performance; and it helps to speed up the restoration fishery ecological environment, improve the capacity for sustainable development of fisheries. At the same time, it helps to expand government investment and stimulate the development of related industries, and promote stable economic growth.
(Iv) the adjustment of domestic fisheries and aquaculture oil subsidy policy is to improve the way financial support to improve the effective use of finances needs. Fishing situation is complex, the amount of subsidies to fishing boats and other objects work, fuel consumption information collection more difficult, regulatory means lagging behind, resulting in the implementation of the subsidy policy aliasing distortion. To this end, it is necessary to improve the way financial support, the majority of fisheries subsidies to oil diversion of general transfer payments, co-ordinated by the local use. While playing local government information symmetry, locally to the favorable regulatory advantages, improve supervision and improve the efficiency of the subsidy.
At present, the domestic and international oil prices continue to fall, to provide a favorable subsidy policy adjustment "window" period.
Second, the subsidy policy adjustment guiding ideology, objectives and tasks
(A) guiding ideology. In accordance with the Japan-eighth session of the Third Plenary requested the party's eighteen, the "Several Opinions of the State Council on promoting the sustained and healthy development of marine fisheries" (Guo Fa [2013] No. 11) as a guide to adjust the use of funds as a means of in people's livelihood and ecology, security and stability as the goal, to protect and support sound incentive and restraint mechanisms, so that domestic fishing and aquaculture oil subsidy policy and protection of fishery resources and industrial structure adjustment of industrial policy coordination, to promote the sustainable development of fisheries.
(B) principles.
First, the integrated design, play together. And consider the development of fisheries, fishermen and other production and living situation, focus on long-term sustainability of fisheries, integrated use of fiscal policy, industrial policy and trade management measures and means to strengthen the target assessment, improve management, and concerted efforts to promote the reduction ship conversion, reduce fishing intensity target smoothly.
The second is to revitalize the stock, a sound mechanism. In 2014 domestic fishing and aquaculture oil subsidies clearing number as the base, the size of central government subsidies under the same premise, revitalize the stock, adjust the way, the fishing industry and gradually reduce domestic oil subsidies, improve the fuel consumption and oil subsidies and fisheries decoupled from oil prices, fishermen and security, fisheries development, fishing and stable coordination of the new mechanism.
Third, a clear responsibility to promote the smooth. Implement the oil subsidy policy adjustment main responsibility, continue to implement the "provincial governor responsibility system" to strengthen the provincial level, to resolve key issues by the local fishery overall stable development, to ensure that fishing and aquaculture domestic oil subsidies policy adjustments progressing smoothly.
(C) the objectives and tasks. By adjusting and optimizing the subsidies, the central government subsidies and complete decoupling fuel consumption and improve the fishery support security system, and strive to 2019, with about 5 years, the domestic oil price subsidies to the fishing industry in 2014 fell to 40% level of subsidy so that the number of domestic fishing vessels to further reduce the number and power, and further optimize the structure of fishing, fishing intensity has been effectively controlled, fisheries modernization has taken new steps.
Third, the subsidy policy adjustments the main content
Based on domestic fisheries and aquaculture as a national oil subsidies refined oil pricing mechanism reform policy after fishermen attribute the cost of production subsidies, according to the total amount diminished, stock adjustment, protection of key, integrated ideas, will be adjusted to the special subsidies transfer payments and comprehensive support policy combination of general transfer payments. In 2014 the number of base-clearing, 20% of the subsidies to special transfer payments form part of the overall reduction for fishermen and fishing boats converting other key renovation work; 80% by general transfer payments issued by the local government co-ordination with special the cost of production in the fisheries subsidies, job transfer and other aspects.
(A) adhere to focus on security, and strengthen the construction of modern fisheries support in the form of special transfer payments to support Save the fishermen and ship conversion ecological restoration and renovation of boats and other fishing equipment construction.
1. Support converting fishing boats Save and construction of artificial reefs. According to marine fishing intensity and the coordinated development of renewable resources, ability to balance the requirements of the existing ship Save subsidies increased from 2,500 yuan / kW to 5,000 yuan / kW, and fishing dismantling give some subsidies to promote the Save fishermen boat converting. At the same time, support the implementation of the construction of artificial reefs to promote fishery ecological environment restoration.
2. Support and other modern fishing boats renovation and equipment. Adapt to the development of fisheries modern, professional new situation, strictly control the number of marine fishing boats and power numbers "dual control" targets, without increasing fishing effort, the phasing out of double bottom trawling, net sails, triangular net for Tiger marine resources devastating type of job, to incorporate the old, old, wooden fishing management renovation, there are plans to upgrade selectivity, energy efficient, safe and environmentally friendly standardized fishing vessels, ship owners as an object, set the standard , classification support, built after the first decrease, reducing hook up, the central government to the provinces to complete the task of reducing ship according to certain criteria for granting fishing renovation subsidies. At the same time, support for the promotion of cage, fishing buoy and other public infrastructure and national dynamic management system construction of fishing vessels, and improve the basic conditions for the development of fisheries.
(B) adhere to maintain pressure and optimize the structure of subsidies to general transfer payment, co-ordinated by the local fishermen used to solve the production cost and other aspects of job transfer. First, oil prices stable farming subsidies, adjust the relevant accounting standards and methods. Second, the domestic fishing boats by job type and size of sub-file Quota Estimation (marine and medium-sized fishing subsidies limit control to implement, monitor and follow the ship's position by the progressive introduction of the accounting day), considering resource conservation, ship's age and other factors, the domestic gradually Yajian the fishing industry, especially large and medium-scale commercial fishing subsidies, give proper care of the livelihood of small-scale fishing vessels. These two types of subsidies to develop standards and limit issued by the Ministry of Agriculture. Except for these two types of subsidies, general transfer payments financed by the local government according to the actual situation of fisheries development and priorities, the implementation of integrated, can increase the intensity in the central financial subsidy Save ship conversion subsidies on the basis of reducing ship ashore Fishermen give employment support, training and education, conservation of fishery resources, fishing off subsidies, fisheries fishery information construction, fishing buoy construction, pond water recycling factory standardization and transformation of aquaculture infrastructure to give some support.
Fourth, the subsidy safeguards policy adjustment
Domestic fishing and aquaculture oil subsidy policy adjustment involves a wide range, high degree of complexity, policies, and social influence. All regions and relevant departments to effectively enhance the overall concept and sense of responsibility, strengthen organizational leadership, strengthen co-ordination, strengthen supervision and inspection, strengthen propaganda and guidance, policy adjustments to ensure smooth progress.
(A) implement the governor responsibility system, improve the working mechanism. The provinces to raise awareness of the subsidy policy adjustment, strengthen organizational leadership, implement the main responsibility for the continuation of the implementation of fisheries subsidies in oil prices, "provincial governor responsibility system" to further strengthen the provincial level, local governments explicitly guarantee fisheries development and social stability "reveal all" responsibility. Establish and improve the unified leadership of Party committees and governments, relevant departments perform their duties, coordination of work mechanism, a clear division of responsibilities, detailed embodiments, good convergence support. Specific embodiments of the Ministry of Agriculture issued by the upper limit of the standard, including subsidies, fishing subsidies for renovation and shipbreaking and ship conversions, etc. Save including; Ministry of Finance issued by the relevant fund management approach; the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture jointly improve guidance and supervision and assessment work.
(Ii) to develop implementation plans, improve supporting measures. The provincial people's government according to the spirit of this circular, combined with the concrete practice, pay close attention to the development of 2015--2019 domestic fishing and aquaculture oil subsidy policy adjustment programs, specific contents include: subsidy policy changes the basic ideas and general considerations; marine fishing fishing and power in the overall Yajian about 10% of the yearly implementation plans; renovation of fishing goals and annual plans; focus on the use of general transfer payments and specific arrangements for funding; converting jobs, conservation of fisheries resources, Hugh fishing subsidies, fisheries fishery information construction, fishing buoy construction, aquaculture, infrastructure construction and other funding arrangements and the expected effects, supervision and performance appraisal as an important basis. At the same time, pay close attention to improve the relevant systems and measures and supporting measures to increase efforts to combat involving fishery "three noes" of ships and all kinds of illegal operations, ship certificate does not match the regulation, the use of illegal fishing gear and water pollution and other acts, to ensure the smooth progress of policy adjustment . Provinces subsidy policy adjustment programs in the Ministry of Finance before the end of September 2015, the Ministry of Agriculture for the record.
(Iii) strengthen supervision and inspection, to strengthen the target assessment. State Council departments, local governments and relevant departments at all levels should strengthen the oil subsidy policy adjustment work guidance and supervision and inspection, to identify problems, improve policies. Ministry of Agriculture of the relevant provinces marine fishing vessels and power indicators confirm Yajian implemented annually provinces Save task completion and boat fishing vessel "dual control" of regime to conduct supervision and inspection and performance assessment.
(D) strengthen the propaganda and guidance, to create a good environment. Country should be targeted advocacy guidance, highlighting policy-oriented, to win the understanding and support of the masses and the fishermen community, to create a good public opinion environment. Take publicity, distribute brochures and other ways to expand the policy to promote its surface.
