State Council Fa [2017] No. 19
The people's governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, all ministries and commissions of the State Council, and all directly affiliated institutions: The construction industry is a pillar industry of the national economy. Since the reform and opening up, my country's construction industry has developed rapidly, construction capabilities have been continuously enhanced, and the scale of the industry has continued to expand. It has absorbed a large number of migrant laborers from rural areas, driven a large number of related industries, and made important contributions to economic and social development, urban and rural construction, and improvement of people's livelihood. However, it must be noted that the construction industry is still large but not strong, the regulatory system and mechanism are not sound, the organization of engineering construction is backward, the level of construction design needs to be improved, quality and safety accidents occur from time to time, there are many violations of laws and regulations in the market, and the core competitiveness of enterprises Problems such as weak and low-quality workers are more prominent. In order to implement the "Several Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Further Strengthening the Management of Urban Planning and Construction", to further deepen the reform of "delegation, management and service" in the construction industry, accelerate industrial upgrading, promote the sustainable and healthy development of the construction industry, and provide support for new urbanization. The State Council agrees and now offers the following opinions: &Nbsp;I.
