Multiple measures help the logistics industry

by:VIPUTRANS     2020-08-02
Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued the 'Notice on Forwarding the Implementation Opinions of the Ministry of Transport of the National Development and Reform Commission on Further Reduction of Logistics Costs' (Guobanfa﹝2020) No. 10, referred to as 'Opinions'). The 'Opinions' centered on the overall goal of 'reducing burdens, lowering costs, improving quality and efficiency', and following the basic principles of 'based on the current, long-term perspective, combining far and near, and treating both symptoms and root causes', it proposes 24 logistics cost reduction measures in 6 aspects to optimize China's logistics The overall construction of the system has enabled the high-quality and rapid development of China's logistics field.

The high level of social logistics costs in my country is closely related to objective factors such as the high proportion of the primary and secondary industries, the high degree of economic export, the uneven distribution of regional industries and natural resources, the vast inland depth and the complex terrain. At the same time, the effective supply and connection of logistics infrastructure is insufficient, the overall logistics operation efficiency is not high, and the policy environment is imperfect, and other constraints cannot be ignored. This is also caused by the current high level of storage costs, management costs, and the proportion of loading and unloading costs in transportation costs. Larger important reason. In general, the problems are concentrated in the 'four threes', namely the 'three difficulties', difficult to use land, financing, and transportation; 'three more', more management lines, more charging items, and more tax burdens; 'three 'Low', the proportion of molten iron transportation is low, the standardization level is low, and the industry concentration is low; the 'three impediments' include poor infrastructure connectivity, poor iron and molten iron trunk channels, and poor information interconnection and sharing.

From the overall perspective of logistics cost reduction work, with the improvement of the logistics infrastructure network, the application of new technologies and new models and the improvement of corporate management, China’s logistics costs are expected to gradually decrease to a more reasonable level. However, in the short term, manufacturing logistics demand will continue to remain relatively high. Large-scale, rapid development of multi-batch and small-batch logistics brought about by changes in production and lifestyles. The cost of resources such as labor and land has continued to rise. Logistics cost reduction is facing more severe and complex challenges. Especially with the deepening of logistics cost reduction work, the space for cost reduction in some areas has been relatively limited.

In recent years, the State Council has issued a series of policies and measures to reduce logistics costs, and various departments have vigorously implemented them and achieved positive results. my country's social logistics costs have been steadily declining, and the overall logistics efficiency and service levels have been significantly improved. This has provided strong support for my country to build a modern economic system and promote high-quality economic development. However, compared with the requirements of high-quality development and the international horizontal, the problems of high logistics costs and low efficiency in my country are still outstanding, and the ability to serve the real economy needs to be further improved.

In 2019, in accordance with the relevant instructions of the Party Central Committee, the main leaders of the Ministry of Transport led the team separately and went to Fujian, Hubei, Chongqing, Sichuan, Jiangsu and other places to carry out special research on reducing logistics costs, and held several expert consultation meetings and corporate seminars to listen On this basis, the relevant recommendations formed the 'Report on Further Promoting the Reduction of Logistics Costs' and submitted it to the State Council. In accordance with the instructions of Premier Li Keqiang, Vice Premier Han Zheng and Vice Premier Liu He, the Ministry of Transport and the National Development and Reform Commission, together with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Public Security, researched and drafted and submitted the 'Implementation Opinions' to the State Council.

Implement logistics tax and fee reduction policies such as halving the urban land use tax on the land used for bulk commodity storage; reduce the cost of road traffic. Combined with deepening the reform of the toll road system, comprehensively promote differentiated tolls on expressways, guide the scientific diversion of vehicles on congested sections and time periods, and further improve traffic efficiency. Deepen the reform of expressway electronic non-stop toll collection. Strengthen the road network operation guarantee after the cancellation of expressway toll stations at the provincial boundary to ensure that the overall burden of truck tolls is not increased. Encourage places where conditions permit to repurchase the toll rights of operating ordinary toll roads and implement free passage for vehicles. Strictly implement the 'green channel' policy for the transportation of fresh and live agricultural products, and effectively reduce the transportation cost of fresh and live agricultural products such as chilled pork.

Reduce railway air freight charges. Streamline railway freight miscellaneous fees, lower the fees for late payment of freight and miscellaneous fees, and strictly implement the cancellation of freight transportation change fees. Vigorously promote the 'Buy Now' transportation of bulk goods. Strictly implement the charging catalogue list and publicity system in the field of railway dedicated lines, and clean up and standardize the charging items outside the catalogue list, local government surcharges, and private line property rights units or operating units. Formulate rules for the price behavior of railway dedicated line services, standardize the charging behavior of railway dedicated lines and self-provided vehicle maintenance services, and further reduce the charging standards. It is strictly forbidden to increase or increase other fees in a disguised manner to offset the effect of fee reduction. Promote the high-quality development of China-Europe trains, optimize the organization of train transportation, strengthen resource integration, promote 'transit collection and distribution', standardize unhealthy competition, and further reduce the cost of train operations. Consolidate the airport cargo terminal arrival fee into the cargo handling fee.

Study the integration of port facility security fees, etc. into port operation leasing fees, and reduce some government-priced port charges. Regulate the charging behavior of port enterprises and shipping companies in accordance with the law. Reduce the level of conventional charges for container import and export.

Strengthen the supervision of charging behavior in the logistics field. For charging items subject to government pricing or government-guided prices, timely reduce the high charging standards; for charging items subject to market-adjusted prices, research and establish rules and guidelines for charging behavior. Strictly implement the system of charging items and standard publicity, and intensify investigation and punishment of acts that do not charge according to the public price standard or increase fees at will. Investigate and punish violations of laws and regulations such as compulsory fees, only fees but no services, and excessive fees.

Strengthen the open sharing of information and reduce the cost of logistics information

Promote the open sharing of logistics information. Under the premise of ensuring information security, units such as transportation, public security traffic management, railways, ports, and aviation must open public information related to logistics to the society. In accordance with the principles of safe sharing and reciprocity and mutual benefit, promote the docking of information systems between railway enterprises and enterprises such as ports and logistics, improve standards such as information interfaces, and strengthen the opening of information such as train arrival times. Study the establishment of a national multimodal transport public information system, implement standardized data interfaces and protocols, and achieve greater data information sharing; reduce the cost of truck positioning information. For freight vehicles that have been installed with satellite positioning devices before leaving the factory, no unit may require repeated installation of satellite positioning devices. Standardize the charging behavior of freight vehicle positioning information service providers, and reduce the cost of freight vehicle positioning information.

Accelerate the establishment of a circular sharing system for standardized loading equipment such as pallets to reduce repeated investment by enterprises.

'Three Features' and 'Five Aspects' to ensure policy measures

Effective

The first feature is to face the problem directly and strive for practical results. Focus on the 'old difficulty' that restricts logistics cost reduction, innovate ideas and policy methods, and strive to improve the sense of corporate policy acquisition. For example, in terms of maintaining the order of the road freight market, it is proposed to establish a normalized working mechanism to severely crack down on highways, national and provincial roads, robbers and road tyrants; in terms of promoting customs clearance facilitation, it is proposed to systematically sort out the approval management items and supervision documents of shipping and customs clearance. If it is unreasonable or unable to meet the needs of supervision, it shall be cancelled or withdrawn from the port inspection according to regulations; in terms of land use, it is proposed to increase the utilization rate and floor area ratio of own industrial land or storage land and use it for the construction of logistics facilities such as storage, distribution and transshipment. , No more land price etc.

The second feature is the combination of far and near and coordinated advancement. On the one hand, the 'Opinions' focus on the focus and difficult issues of concentrated industry feedback and widespread concern of the society, and new situations and new problems in the logistics field since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic,Introduce and implement new detailed and practical measures in one step. On the other hand, it focuses on strengthening the connection and transformation of different fields and different logistics links, and promotes the transformation of 'quantity cost reduction' oriented by reducing absolute cost expenditures to 'efficiency cost reduction' oriented by improving logistics operation system.

The third feature is to strengthen overall planning and pay close attention to implementation. Logistics cost reduction has a wide range of work areas and multiple lines, involving multiple departmental responsibilities, and requires the joint efforts of relevant departments. In this regard, the 'Opinions' clearly stated that it is necessary to give play to the role of the national inter-ministerial joint meeting of modern logistics work, coordinate and solve the problems in the implementation of policies, and ensure that various policy measures are effective.

The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission also stated, 'The National Development and Reform Commission will divide the work according to the 'Opinions', pay close attention to the implementation of various tasks, and focus on the advantages of comprehensive coordination and macro-control departments to promote improvement. The 'channel + hub + network' logistics operation system systematically improves the efficiency of the logistics system, and promotes the reduction of social logistics costs in a deeper and wider range.'

In the near future, it will focus on five areas of work: solidly promote the construction of the national logistics hub network. On the basis of the preliminary work, we will do a good job in the construction of the national logistics hub in 2020, accelerate the construction of the basic framework and important support of the national logistics hub network, further integrate and gather various existing logistics resources, and improve the scale, network, and intensive development of the industry. At the same time, we will start to study and formulate the implementation plan for the construction of the national logistics hub network in 2021-2025.

Layout and build a national backbone cold chain logistics base. To build a number of national backbone cold chain logistics bases for the advantageous production areas and distribution centers of high value-added fresh agricultural products, integrate the supply and demand of the cold chain logistics market, inventory facilities, and upstream and downstream industrial resources such as the circulation and production and processing of agricultural products, and promote the reduction of cold chain logistics. This will increase efficiency and support the industrialization of fresh agricultural products.

Strengthen the construction of emergency reserve facilities. Combining with the construction of major logistics infrastructure and other work, study the layout and construction of a batch of emergency reserve facilities in areas with conditions, strengthen the storage and dispatch capabilities of emergency materials such as medical care, and provide strong support for improving the emergency response capabilities of major emergencies.

Promote the integrated development of the logistics industry. The important reasons for the short-term and local material shortages and insufficient industrial chain coordination that occurred in the early stage of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and during the resumption of production are due to the insufficient linkage of the logistics industry and the insufficient flexibility of the supply chain. In this regard, the National Development and Reform Commission is working with relevant departments to study and formulate policy documents, intending to promote the deep integration and innovative development of the logistics industry in some key links and key areas.

Organize the demonstration work of logistics parks. In accordance with the relevant work arrangements of the State Council, two batches of 56 demonstration logistics parks have been released in conjunction with relevant departments, which have played an active role in driving the leading role of backbone parks and promoting the improvement of the operational efficiency of the logistics system. In the near future, the National Development and Reform Commission will, in accordance with the requirements of the 'Opinions', work with relevant departments to study the selection of a new batch of demonstration logistics parks and further promote the overall development of the logistics park.

In accordance with the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, all regions and departments must strengthen policy overall coordination, earnestly implement work responsibilities, and conscientiously organize implementation in light of the actual conditions of their respective regions and departments. The National Development and Reform Commission shall, in conjunction with relevant departments, give play to the role of the National Inter-Ministerial Joint Conference on Modern Logistics Work, strengthen work guidance, promptly summarize and promote typical experience and practices in reducing logistics costs, coordinate and solve problems in policy implementation, and ensure that various policy measures are effective.
