Preferential policies for border trade
On the basis of the current special transfer payment in border areas, the state has increased the scale of funds and increased its support for the development of border trade, creating a good external environment for the development of enterprises. In 2008, it was 2 billion yuan, and the actual implementation period was two months. On this basis, a moderate growth mechanism linked to factors such as port cargo throughput was established in the following years. Local financial departments should, in light of local conditions and in accordance with the requirements of supporting the development of border trade and the capacity building of border small-scale trade enterprises, conscientiously implement the central subsidy funds and give full play to the efficiency in the use of funds. It is necessary to give full play to the supervision and inspection power of the financial and auditing departments to ensure that the special transfer payment funds really play a role in promoting the development of border trade.
(B) Western preferential policies to deal with the international financial crisis
In 2009, in accordance with the unified arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the western region fully implemented relevant policies and measures to deal with the international financial crisis, and all the work achieved positive results. However, the economic aggregate in the western region is small, the products are at the low end of the industrial chain, the production mode is relatively extensive, and the self-adjustment ability is weak. At present, the foundation of economic recovery is still unstable, unstable and unbalanced. Effectively coping with the impact of the international financial crisis and maintaining the good momentum of steady and rapid economic development in the western region are of great strategic significance for expanding domestic demand, tapping development potential, expanding room for manoeuvre and promoting coordinated regional development throughout the country. The western region should strengthen its confidence, seize the opportunity of the country to expand domestic demand, pay more attention to promoting structural adjustment, pay more attention to safeguarding and improving people's livelihood, pay more attention to deepening reform and opening up, resolve the impact of the international financial crisis, and continue to maintain steady and rapid economic development. On September 10, 2009, the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Responding to the International Financial Crisis and Maintaining the Steady and Rapid Economic Development in the Western Region (Guo Ban Fa [2009] No.55), and put forward the following suggestions for the development of some areas in Xinjiang.
1. Strengthen infrastructure construction
Strengthen infrastructure construction and do a good job in key project reserves and preliminary work. Pay close attention to the planning and research of international transport corridors in Central Asia, Pan Asia and South Asia. Accelerate the pace of preliminary work for railway corridors in expressway, Xi-Chengdu, Chongqing-Guiyang-Nanning and China and neighboring countries (regions). Promote the construction of strategic safe passage for onshore energy resources. Carry out the first phase of the East Route of Hexi Water Diversion Project in Brzin, Xinjiang and the preliminary work of the Carabeli Water Control Project. For Altay region, actively cooperate with relevant departments to do a good job in the preparatory work for the planning and research of the Central Asian international transportation corridor related to Altay region, conduct research, prepare materials and communicate information in advance. According to the overall development strategy of Altay region, combined with the objectives and tasks of the construction of Altay mining special zone, this paper puts forward the construction ideas of railway and highway transportation channels leading to Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia in Altay region. For example, Sino-Russian energy cooperation is an important part of Sino-Russian strategic cooperative partnership and bilateral economic and trade cooperation. It is a realistic choice of mutual benefit and win-win, and has the advantage of strong market complementarity. On June 5438+10/October 65438+March 2009, Russian Prime Minister Wen Jiabao and Russian Prime Minister Putin held the 14th regular meeting between Chinese and Russian Prime Ministers in Beijing. The two prime ministers reached the following understanding on further strengthening Sino-Russian energy cooperation: implementing the intergovernmental agreement on Sino-Russian oil cooperation, in which a road map for Sino-Russian natural gas cooperation was signed, and it was decided to start the eastern line and the western line simultaneously, in which the natural gas project on the western line entered Altay region of China from Gorno-Altaysk-Altay, Russia. At present, PetroChina has been consulted in the region to carry out preliminary work such as natural gas pipeline route selection and Kanas port site selection. Strive for simultaneous construction of Kanas port infrastructure, gas pipelines and accompanying roads. In other words, in the future, the construction of national transportation corridor in Altay region will be promoted through the construction of Sino-Russian natural gas pipeline. The construction of transportation corridors with Kazakhstan and Mongolia will also be planned in advance according to this idea, and relevant preliminary work will be carried out as soon as possible.
2. Strengthen environmental protection and ecological construction.
Consolidate the achievements of returning farmland to forests and grazing land to grassland. Organize and implement measures to consolidate the achievements of returning farmland to forests, such as basic grain ration fields, rural energy, ecological migration, follow-up industrial development, and replanting training for farmers returning farmland, so as to solve the current difficulties and long-term livelihood problems of farmers returning farmland and do a good job in afforestation in barren hills and wasteland. Improve the policy of returning grazing to grassland, speed up the implementation of the project of returning grazing to grassland, expand the scope of implementation, strengthen the construction of water conservancy and shed reform in pastoral areas, promote the retreat through construction, and promote the balance between grass and livestock and house feeding.
Most of the above policies are related to Altay region. For example, the area will continue to implement the project of returning grazing to grassland in the future; Strengthen the promotion of "house feeding in captivity" in agricultural areas, so that natural grassland vegetation can be naturally restored. Accelerating the settlement of nomads is a revolutionary measure to change the lifestyle of nomads and achieve poverty alleviation. It is also the biggest livelihood project in the construction of mining special zones and an important measure to improve the ecological environment of mining special zones. On the basis of completing the herdsmen's settlement project of 23,400 10.94 million, we will actively and steadily push forward the construction pace of the herdsmen's settlement project. 20 10 Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region will speed up the construction of standard forage base as the focus of animal husbandry development and vigorously promote the settlement of development-oriented herders. Altay region should firmly seize this opportunity, persist in doing what we can, and solidly and effectively promote the settlement of herdsmen.
3. Enhance the ability of independent innovation, and guide the industry to transfer to the west in an orderly way.
We will enhance the ability of independent innovation, strengthen the deployment of national science and technology infrastructure in the western region, and continue to build a number of national key laboratories and engineering technology research centers. Support scientific research institutes and enterprises to undertake major national scientific and technological projects and carry out scientific and technological research around the key issues facing the western region. We will continue to maintain and increase policy support for western high-tech zones and support the development of small and medium-sized scientific and technological enterprises.
Guide the orderly transfer of industries, give full play to the advantages of capital, technology, talents and management in the eastern region and resources, market and labor in the western region, and guide the gradient transfer of industries in the eastern region to the western region. Relying on transportation trunk lines and hubs, we will select a number of cities with certain basic conditions to carry out pilot projects to undertake industrial transfer in the eastern region, and promote the establishment of demonstration parks to undertake industrial transfer and interactive industrial cooperation between the east and the west. Strictly control industrial policies, environmental protection and intensive use of resources to prevent backward production capacity from transferring to the western region. To study and formulate specific policies for the central and western regions to undertake industrial transfer. Major industrial projects approved by the state are given priority in the western region.
In view of the above-mentioned policies and measures, the mining special zone can also be positioned as a mining high-tech zone, which can be used as a demonstration zone to undertake mining transfer by using the state's support for the high-tech zone and promoting the establishment of a demonstration park to undertake industrial transfer. Strive for relevant preferential policies for high-tech zones and demonstration zones. In the mining special zone, around the deep processing of mining industry, strengthen the contact with domestic and foreign scientific research institutes supported by the state, participate in the construction and development of the western region, carry out scientific and technological research on key technologies such as the processing of nonferrous metals and rare metals (beryllium), the development and utilization of muscovite and potash feldspar, break through technical problems, and create conditions for the large-scale development and utilization of the above mineral resources in the mining special zone.
4. Strengthen the interaction between the central and western regions
Adhere to the principles of government promotion, market operation, mechanism innovation and mutual benefit and win-win, encourage the eastern and central regions to set up various special funds for regional cooperation, and promote the rational flow of various production factors. Promote the construction of long-term and stable energy and mineral resources development bases in the eastern and western regions. Establish and improve various inter-administrative regional economic cooperation organizations and industry organizations. We will continue to build an interactive platform between the East and the West, such as the East-West Cooperation and Investment and Trade Fair and the Western International Expo. Actively promote the developed eastern regions to help the poor western regions. Accelerate the establishment and improvement of regional coordination and interaction mechanism, and form a new pattern of coordination, interaction, mutual promotion and common development in the eastern, central and western regions.
The interaction mechanism between the east and the west and counterpart support are also reflected in Altay region. For example, the work of aiding Xinjiang cadres, so far, Altay region has accepted six batches of counterpart support for aiding Xinjiang cadres, of which the first three batches were counterpart support from Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, and the last three batches were sent by the central and state organs and central enterprises. Since 2002, the fourth batch of cadres from the central and state organs and central enterprises have been supporting Altay region. In 2008, the sixth batch of aid cadres entered Afghanistan to carry out aid work in Xinjiang. Altay region has always attached great importance to aiding Xinjiang, giving full play to the bridge role of aiding Xinjiang cadres in attracting investment, winning projects and training cadres, and making due contributions to promoting regional economic and social development. Central and state organs and central enterprises have strong advantages in macro management and contact, but there are also some problems, such as cadres from different units, not affiliated with each other, often fighting alone when fighting for projects and funds, and it is difficult to form a joint force. Altay region is also considering exploring and innovating a new scientific and technological assistance mechanism that conforms to the reality of Altay region, and striving for counterpart assistance from economically developed cities in the eastern region.
5. Increase investment and implement organizational guarantee.
Continue to increase policy support. The central financial investment should continue to tilt towards the western region, and gradually increase the general transfer payments and special transfer payments to the western region. The central government's new investment in expanding domestic demand continues to tilt toward the western region, focusing on areas such as people's livelihood projects, infrastructure, ecological environment and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction in the western region, increasing investment scale, optimizing investment structure, and promoting steady and rapid economic and social development in the western region. Give full play to the enthusiasm of the central and local governments, promote bank loans and social investment through government investment, and guide private capital to invest in projects in line with national industrial policies.
Pay close attention to policy and work implementation. The member units of the leading group for the large-scale development of western the State Council should conscientiously implement various tasks according to the actual situation and the division of functions. The National Development and Reform Commission should actively carry out comprehensive coordination, improve policies and measures for the development of the western region, study and solve major problems in the development of the western region, and promote the steady and rapid economic and social development of the western region.
Altay region is a gathering area of ethnic minorities, which is dominated by animal husbandry. The infrastructure construction is relatively weak and the natural ecological environment is fragile. The largest livelihood project in Altay region is herdsmen's settlement project, and infrastructure construction such as controlled water conservancy project has become the focus of the region. Strengthening the protection of ecological environment is the key to the development of mining areas. The central government will expand domestic demand and increase investment in people's livelihood projects, infrastructure and ecological environment protection in the western region. Altay region should take the initiative to strengthen the contact with the leading group of the State Council's western development and other member units, intensify the arrangement, and actively strive for the national herdsmen's settlement project, controlled water conservancy project, ecological environment protection and other projects.
(3) Preferential policies for talents
1) talents and intelligence flow to the western region. Support talents from other regions to take part-time jobs, provide short-term services, undertake entrusted projects, cooperate in research, share technology, and manage contracts to participate in the western development. Organize domestic senior experts, outstanding postdoctoral and overseas students to visit the western region in batches and provide consulting services, and use modern communication means and network technology to carry out remote services. Support the establishment of overseas students' pioneer parks in places where conditions permit in the west, make full use of its advantages of intensive technology, complete facilities and preferential policies, and attract overseas students to set up high-tech enterprises or engage in high-tech research and development.
2) All kinds of talents working in the western region implement the policy of freedom of coming and going. Its personnel files can be handed over to the receiving unit or kept by the original unit, or kept by the talent exchange institution belonging to the competent government department where the receiving unit or the original unit is located.
3) Provide entry and exit convenience for foreign high-tech talents, high-level management talents and investors in the western region. The range of personnel who provide convenience for entry and residence is: foreign high-tech and high-level managers who implement the national and provincial scientific and technological projects and key projects agreements signed between the central or local governments and foreign countries; foreign high-tech and high-level managers among the returned overseas students who come to work in China; foreigners who implement intergovernmental agreements on free assistance; investors of large foreign-invested enterprises and foreign senior managers and technicians.
Altay region should aim at the national preferential policies for talents. Combined with the reality of Altay region, relevant preferential policies are formulated to introduce senior talents in geological prospecting, mining and management, which are in short supply in this region. In the mining special zone, the new mining park platform will be used to establish a pioneer park for overseas students, relying on the regional higher vocational and technical colleges, and make full use of its advantages of intensive technology, complete facilities and preferential policies to attract overseas students to set up mining high-tech enterprises or engage in mining high-tech research and development. The mining cooperation between Altay region and three neighboring countries is increasingly strengthened. With the rapid development of regional mining economy, it is likely that high-tech mining talents, senior management talents and investors from Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia will work in Altay Mining Special Zone. According to the above-mentioned preferential policies for talents, we will provide entry and exit convenience for foreign mining high-tech talents, high-level management talents and investors in Altay.
Two. Relevant preferential policies and their implementation
The State Council's "No.32 Document" was put forward in 2007 according to the actual situation of Xinjiang's economic and social development and with a full understanding of Xinjiang's special and important strategic position in the overall situation of national development and stability. The Ministry of Land and Resources resolutely implemented the spirit of Document No.32, and in June of the same year, it reported the implementation of Document No.32 to the State Council. Mainly from the following aspects: Xinjiang enjoys preferential policies for land and resources, strengthens mineral exploration, accelerates the development of superior mineral resources, strengthens geological environment protection and geological disaster prevention, promotes the formulation of resource tax and fee support policies, innovates mineral resources exploration and development mechanism, and strengthens geological science and technology research and personnel training. The Ministry of Land and Resources has formulated the Implementation Measures for Implementing the State Council's Opinions on Further Promoting Xinjiang's Economic and Social Development.
Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Altay region carry out the spirit of Document No.32 and make full use of the special land and resources policy put forward by Document No.258 of the Ministry of Land and Resources. After more than three years of implementation, the Department of Land and Resources has played an important role in the process of undertaking industrial transfer in Xinjiang and Altay, such as implementing special policies on land resources, strengthening the transformation of mineral resources potential into mineral resources advantages, promoting the transformation of mineral resources advantages into economic advantages, and pragmatically promoting tax and fee support policies for mineral resources.
(A) preferential policies for land use
Considering the demand for land and the characteristics of land resources in Xinjiang, preferential treatment is given in adjusting the lowest price standard for industrial land transfer, thus promoting Xinjiang to undertake industrial transfer in the mainland. The use of state-owned unused land to build industrial projects outside the scope of urban construction land determined by the overall land use planning shall be implemented in accordance with the national minimum price standard for industrial land transfer. Do special things to improve the efficiency of land use approval. Give priority to energy base construction projects and advantageous mineral resources development projects, water conservancy construction projects, transportation infrastructure construction projects, power infrastructure construction projects and other land. Land use indicators can be appropriately adjusted according to the actual situation.
The mining deep processing projects in Altay Mining Special Zone land in the mining park, enjoy the lowest standard of industrial land transfer, and provide preferential land policy support for promoting large mining enterprises and groups to land in the mining park, such as the iron resources deep processing project of Xinxing Cast Pipe Group and the copper resources deep processing project of TBA Copper Group. In the construction of Altay mining special zone, the above-mentioned key projects are all like controlled water conservancy projects, energy base construction projects such as hydropower, coal-fired power and wind power, and superior resource transformation projects (new cast pipes and special power transformation). In the construction of the new district, you can enjoy preferential policies such as appropriate adjustment of land use indicators.
(2) Supporting measures for mineral exploration
In order to promote the transformation of Xinjiang's mineral resources potential into mineral resources advantages and improve the level of basic geological work. Intensify the investigation, evaluation and exploration of geology and mineral resources, complete the medium-scale regional geological and geophysical exploration survey by the end of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan, basically complete the regional geological and mineral survey of1∶ 50,000 important metallogenic favorable areas, and make unified planning and deployment of mineral exploration in key exploration planning areas of key metallogenic belts such as Tianshan Mountain, Altai Mountain, Kunlun Mountain and Altun Mountain. Strengthen the protection of geological environment and the prevention and control of geological disasters to promote harmonious development; The annual investment scale of the central government's special projects, such as the general survey of land and resources, the central geological exploration, and the exploration of replacement resources for basic crisis mines, has more than doubled, and the breakthrough in geological prospecting has been accelerated. The state funded the completion of the mineral survey in key exploration areas. Overseas mineral resources exploration, strengthen cooperation with geological survey institutions of five Central Asian countries, carry out comparative research on important metallogenic belts in Xinjiang and Central Asia, and guide geological prospecting in Xinjiang.
According to "No.32 Document" of the State Council, the Ministry of Land and Resources strengthened mineral exploration in Xinjiang. On July 1 1, 2008, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region signed an agreement with the Ministry of Land and Resources to determine the "358" project. In 2009 and 20 10, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the People's Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region will jointly invest165438+200 million yuan for mineral exploration. The Altai-Junggar key metallogenic belt is the key exploration zone deployed by the "358" project, and Altay region is located in this key metallogenic belt. Compared with other areas in Xinjiang and even northern Xinjiang, Altay region has a higher degree of geological work, and belongs to an area where geological and mineral exploration is deepened. Altay attaches great importance to the implementation of the "358" project, and should take the "358" project implemented by the Ministry of Land and Resources and Xinjiang as an opportunity to actively strive for special geological exploration funds such as the general survey of land and resources, the Central Geological Exploration Fund, the Abagong-Kurti lead-zinc-iron-copper-gold mine in Fuyun County, and the Karaxiangger copper-gold mine in Qinghe. Focus on strengthening the investigation and evaluation of iron, copper, lead, zinc, nickel and other mineral resources, strive to increase the proven reserves of resources, and lay a material foundation for the construction of mining special zones.
The comparative study of important metallogenic belts in Xinjiang and Central Asia is progressing smoothly. By June 5438+February, 2009, China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia and South Korea had made great progress in joint geological mapping, and compiled the world's first1∶ 2.5 million geotectonic map. The China Geological Survey and the former Bureau of Mineral Resources and Petroleum of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Mongolia signed a cooperation project agreement on "Comparative Study on Mapping of Geochemical Blocks on the Border between China and Mongolia", and good progress has also been made. These achievements are of great practical significance to guide the geological prospecting work in Xinjiang.
(3) Preferential policies and measures for the transformation of superior resources
By strengthening the integration of mineral resources, setting the minimum mining scale of mines and giving priority to the allocation of superior resources to large enterprises and groups, the Ministry of Land and Resources has strengthened the construction of mineral resources development bases and improved the intensive level of mineral resources development and utilization. In the process of starting, training, research, compilation, pre-examination and approval of the second round of mineral resources planning, the Ministry of Land and Resources and its related units have given great support and help to the compilation of the second round of mineral resources planning in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, prefectures and counties (cities). Mineral Resources Planning of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (2008-2020) was approved by the Ministry of Land and Resources in 2009, and was approved earlier in the national provincial mineral resources planning. Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps has completed two rounds of mineral resources planning. As the third batch of aid cadres sent by the Ministry of Land and Resources to Altay, China Land and Resources Economic Research Institute helped Altay to draw up the second round of overall planning of mineral resources by setting up aid projects in Xinjiang.
(4) Actively promoting tax support policies for mineral resources.
In consultation with relevant departments, increase the support of the central government for the new paid use fees of construction land for major land development and consolidation projects; Promote the change of resource tax on some mineral products from quantitative to ad valorem, and adjust the tax level of non-metallic minerals such as oil, natural gas, coal, metals and non-ferrous metals in a timely manner; We will intensify the reform of taxes and fees for resource exploration and development in ethnic minority areas, improve the compensation mechanism for mineral resources development in underdeveloped areas, gradually raise the compensation rate for mineral resources and the threshold standard for the use of exploration and mining rights, adjust the proportion of central and local mineral resources compensation fees and the use of exploration and mining rights, and increase local retention.
As far as mineral resources compensation is concerned, the ratio between the central government and the autonomous region is 4: 6. The autonomous region has reformed the collection and management system of mineral resources compensation fees. The autonomous region stipulates that since 2008, all the mineral resources compensation fees paid by local states will be returned to local governments, and the autonomous region will no longer retain them. As far as Altay region is concerned, due to the arrears of mineral resources compensation fees by some mining enterprises in Altay region, the region has increased its efforts to pay back the fees. In 2008, the compensation for mineral resources in this area reached more than 90 million yuan, and in 2009 it was more than 56 million yuan. Only this preferential policy of increasing the local retention of mineral resources compensation fees has contributed to strengthening mineral resources exploration and mine geological environment protection in Altay region.
