What measures have been taken in the new Law to strengthen the establishment of ranks of inspectors and improve the system of law enforcement supervision?
To ensure that the State commodity inspection authorities and imports and exports inspection agencies would perform their official duties strictly in accordance with law, three new provisions have been added to the Law on the Inspection of Imports and exports:
1) Article 30 of the revised law provides: " In performing official duties, the State commodity inspection authorities and imports and exports inspection agencies must abide by law, safeguard national interests, strictly enforce law in accordance with their jurisdiction prescribed by law and the legal procedure concerned, and accept supervision.
The State commodity inspection authorities and imports and exports inspection agencies shall strengthen the establishment of their ranks in order that their imports and exports inspectors will be of fine political and professional qualities. For imports and exports inspectors, they shall regularly receive professional training and take tests, and can take their posts to perform official duties only after they are found to be qualified through examination.
Imports and exports inspectors must be faithful in the discharge of their official duties, provide services in a civilized way and abide by professional ethics, and may not abuse their power to seek personal gains."
2) It is provide in Article 31 that the State commodity inspection authorities and imports and exports inspection agencies shall establish and improve internal supervisory systems, to exercise supervision and inspection over the activities of their functionaries to perform official duties. The functions and authority that imports and export inspection agencies are mainly responsible for shall be clearly defined and be separated from one another and strict one another.
3) Article 32 of the revised law provides: "Any institution or individual shall have the right to accuse the State commodity inspection authorities and imports and exports inspection agencies as well as their functionaries of behavior in violation of law or disciplines, or report such behavior to competent authorities. For the authorities receiving accusations or reports to this effect, they shall process them within their jurisdiction in a timely manner in accordance with law, and shall keep secret for the parties making such accusations or reports."
