Recently, a teleconference was held in Beijing to mobilize the national policy grain inventory quantity and quality. The leading comrades of the State Council attended the meeting and made an important speech, making overall arrangements and putting forward specific requirements for doing a good job in the inventory.

What is the significance of this big inventory? What are the guiding ideology and basic principles of inventory? How to ensure that the inventory is effective? The head of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Mechanism Office of the General Inspection accepted an exclusive interview with the Economic Daily reporter on relevant issues-

Insist on checking food and guard against security risks

Policy grain inventory plays an important role in regulating the relationship between supply and demand in the grain market, maintaining social stability and responding to major natural disasters or other emergencies.

Reporter: What is the great practical significance of organizing a nationwide inventory of the quantity and quality of policy grain stocks?

Person in charge:Grain is an important commodity related to the national economy and people’s livelihood, and food security is an important part of national security. In recent years, China’s grain production has been bumper year after year, and its grain stocks are abundant. Policy grain storage plays an important role in regulating the relationship between supply and demand in the grain market, maintaining social stability and responding to major natural disasters or other emergencies.

To carry out a nationwide inventory of the quantity and quality of policy grain stocks is a powerful measure to implement the important instructions and instructions of the leading comrades of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, an urgent need to prevent and resolve potential risks, and an important means to improve and strengthen the long-term mechanism of grain circulation supervision. Finding out the quantity and quality of national policy grain stocks is conducive to accurately judging the supply situation of domestic grain market and enhancing the predictability of food security; It is conducive to formulating more targeted measures, deepening the reform of the grain storage system, and accelerating the digestion of unreasonable grain stocks; It is conducive to comprehensively compacting the responsibilities of all parties, finding problems in time, plugging loopholes, preventing and resolving risks, and improving inventory management capabilities and levels.

Reporter: What are the guiding ideology and working principles of this big inventory?

Person in charge:This general inspection is the third nationwide food inventory inspection organized by the State Council since the beginning of the new century, following 2001 and 2009. The guiding ideology is to thoroughly implement the Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era and the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, conscientiously implement the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, further find out the actual situation of the national policy grain stocks, resolutely plug loopholes, strengthen governance and responsibility implementation according to law, severely punish illegal acts according to law, and resolutely guard and manage the "granary of the world".

The following principles should always be implemented in all stages and links of the general inventory.

First, adhere to problem-oriented and bottom-line thinking. The first task is to find out the quantity and quality of grain stocks, ensure that the stocks are verified and keep the bottom line of real quantity, good quality, safe storage and operational compliance.

Second, adhere to a comprehensive inventory and highlight key points. For the actual storage points of grain enterprises included in the inventory scope, we must adhere to the principle that there must be warehouses, grain must be checked, accounts must be checked, the investigation must be thorough, and traces must be left throughout.

The third is to adhere to the inspection according to regulations and innovate methods. Strictly implement the prescribed procedures and general inspection methods of the implementation plan, and use advanced information technology to check the inventory, so as to improve efficiency and ensure quality.

The fourth is to persist in improving the mechanism and compacting the responsibility. Adhere to who is in charge, who is responsible, who checks, who signs and who is responsible, implement the division of labor responsibility system step by step, and implement the accountability system for inspection results.

Reporter: How to understand "perfecting the mechanism and compacting the responsibility"?

Person in charge:To improve the mechanism, on the one hand, the relevant state departments and units should establish an inter-ministerial coordination mechanism to coordinate the work of the general inventory; The people’s governments at or above the county level should take the lead in establishing a coordination mechanism for the general inspection of the government at the corresponding level. On the other hand, it is necessary to establish a long-term mechanism to strengthen the supervision of grain reserves under the conditions of marketization in the new period through a large-scale inventory, so as to ensure that the amount of grain in stock is true, the quality is good, the storage is safe, and the operation is compliant, so as to ensure that it can be adjusted and used when needed.

Compaction responsibility is to clarify the division of responsibilities in the whole process of large-scale inventory, and to compact all aspects of inventory responsibility, including the main responsibility of storage enterprises, the territorial management responsibility of local governments and the supervision responsibility of administrative departments.

Check the quality and quantity to ensure accurate results.

The primary task of the general inventory is to find out the quantity and quality of grain stocks. First, make sure the samples are authentic and effective. Secondly, ensure that the test results are true and accurate.

Reporter: the principle of general inventory is to find out the quantity and quality of grain stocks as the primary task. Please introduce the specific inventory contents from the quantity and quality of grain stocks.

Person in charge:The first is the amount of grain in stock. Including the physical quantity, variety and ownership of grain stocks included in the inventory, as well as the storage management of different years, different properties and different varieties of grain. The consistency between the grain inventory of the storage enterprise and the accounts of the custody account, statistical account, accounting account and bank fund account, and the consistency between the accounts.

The second is the quality of grain in stock. Its varieties are mainly rice, wheat, corn and soybean in policy grain. The quality inspection of commodity grain, finished grain in local reserve and other varieties of grain in local reserve shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of the provincial people’s government. The inspection contents mainly include policy grain quality indicators, storage quality indicators, and major food safety indicators. At the same time, the implementation of the national grain purchase policy, the rotation management of grain reserves, the linkage of policy grain storage and loan, and the allocation of financial subsidies will be inspected simultaneously to verify the true reliability of the grain in stock.

Reporter: How to ensure that the results of sample inspection in quality inspection are true and accurate?

Person in charge:First, make sure the samples are authentic and effective. Sampling personnel in quality census should sample according to the prescribed procedures and standards, and be responsible for the authenticity and representativeness of the samples and the completeness and accuracy of the sample information.

Secondly, ensure that the test results are true and accurate. In this general inspection, all samples are entrusted to qualified professional food quality inspection and monitoring institutions to be inspected according to the methods stipulated in relevant national standards. The inspection institution shall be determined by the provincial coordination mechanism for large-scale inspection. The inspection agency is responsible for the accuracy and authenticity of the sample inspection results, and is responsible for the confidentiality of the inspection samples and inspection data. City (prefecture) level, provincial level coordination mechanism office is responsible for the authenticity and accuracy of the quality inventory summary results reported.

At the same time, the provincial national food quality monitoring center undertakes the inspection of major food safety indicators and technical support for quality inspection. The coordination mechanism office of provincial large-scale inventory work can take a certain number of samples for re-inspection to ensure that the inspection results are true and accurate. In the self-examination stage, the storage enterprises are responsible for the authenticity of the results of self-sampling inspection of stored grain.

Reporter: How to implement the requirements of "who is in charge, who is in charge, who is in charge, who is in charge" in the large-scale inventory work?

Person in charge:In the self-inspection stage, the legal representative of the storage enterprise takes full responsibility for the self-inspection results of the enterprise, and the storage enterprise is responsible for the self-inspection results of the leased warehouse, and the relevant grain storage company (subsidiary) or the superior competent unit of the enterprise is jointly and severally liable.

In the stage of census and spot check, the lead responsibility system and the team leader responsibility system are implemented, and the lifelong accountability system is implemented for the inspection results. Inspectors at all levels are responsible for the authenticity and accuracy of the inspection contents and results. Those who violate discipline and fail to perform their duties will be severely investigated and punished according to the regulations. The census group led by China Grain Storage Branch and the census group led by municipal (prefectural) grain departments are mainly responsible for their respective census results; The leading China Grain Storage Branch and the municipal (prefectural) level government and its relevant departments are jointly and severally liable, and the provincial people’s government and its relevant departments are responsible for the census organization; The report on the results of the large-scale inventory submitted by the people’s government at the city (prefecture) level and the people’s government at the provincial level shall be jointly signed by all departments and units and signed by the main person in charge of the government. The national joint spot check group is responsible for the spot check results.

Strengthen circulation supervision and ensure that mistakes are investigated.

In this large-scale inventory, the 12325 national grain circulation supervision hotline will implement the trinity reporting mechanism of "telephone hotline-network reporting platform-WeChat WeChat official account" to facilitate supervision from all walks of life.

Reporter: In recent years, grain stocks have remained high and management is very difficult. What measures has the government taken in the supervision of grain circulation?

Person in charge:Specifically speaking, it mainly starts from three aspects: highlighting key points, compacting responsibility and innovative methods.

The first is to highlight the key points. Closely follow the key points of law enforcement supervision, such as grain reserve, grain purchase, and policy stock out of the warehouse, and organize special rectification, such as "it is difficult to sell grain", "white stripes" and "circling grain", and conduct large-scale investigation of food security risks, rapid rectification, and strict enforcement of centralized actions, so as to protect the interests of grain farmers and standardize the order of grain circulation.

The second is to compact the responsibility. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the State Council and the requirements of the governor’s responsibility system for food security, around strengthening the national policy-based food supervision, we will strictly implement the responsibilities of the main body of policy implementation and the administrative departments of storage enterprises, local governments, food and so on, and conduct pressure at different levels to bear the responsibility.

The third is the innovative way. Smooth the "12325" food circulation supervision hotline and seriously accept reports from the masses. Actively introduce entrusted on-site inspection, cross-provincial law enforcement inspection, "four noes and two straights" inspection and "double random" spot check. Implement the food inspection system and actively carry out surprise inspections and unannounced visits. Improve the dynamic supervision system of central grain reserves and realize online monitoring and inspection of central grain reserves.

Reporter: How does the "12325" national food circulation supervision hotline opened in early 2018 play an active role in the general inventory work?

Person in charge:In this large-scale inventory, the 12325 national food circulation supervision hotline will implement the trinity reporting mechanism of "telephone hotline-network reporting platform-WeChat WeChat official account" to facilitate supervision from all walks of life. At the same time, establish and implement a feedback system for case verification, and adopt face-to-face, telephone reply, written notification and other methods to timely feedback the investigation situation to informants, so that the feedback rate of real-name reporting and 12325 hotline transfer can reach 100%. Suspected of violating the law and discipline, according to the relevant provisions of the timely transfer of processing.

Reporter: How to deal with the problems found in the general inspection?

Person in charge:Insist on checking and correcting, that is, checking and correcting, and rectifying the sales number. For all kinds of problems found in self-examination, the storage enterprises shall establish rectification ledgers, and the superior competent units of China Grain Storage Branch and other storage enterprises shall supervise the rectification according to the grain right and enterprise ownership. The people’s governments at the city (prefecture) level and county level shall, in accordance with the principle of locality and the requirements of full coverage, supervise all storage enterprises within their respective administrative areas to carry out self-inspection, and urge the enterprises to rectify the problems found by self-inspection.

City (prefecture) level large inventory coordination mechanism office forms a list of problems found in the census, and at the same time issues a rectification notice, organizes enterprises to implement rectification measures, strengthens the accountability for rectification, and urges rectification within a time limit. The provincial office of coordination mechanism for large-scale inventory should organize the office of coordination mechanism for large-scale inventory at the city (prefecture) level to urge storage enterprises to submit rectification results within a time limit. The Office of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Mechanism for General Inspection forms a list of problems found in spot checks, issues rectification notices, and urges relevant departments and units to submit rectification results within a time limit.

Enterprises found problems in self-examination, and the rectification treatment before the census was in place, which did not cause significant losses, and the relevant responsibilities may not be investigated. If the enterprise refuses to implement the rectification requirements of the office of the coordination mechanism for large-scale inventory at all levels or the rectification work goes through the motions and is not in place, the person in charge of the enterprise and the person directly responsible shall be investigated for responsibility.
