Import and export easy to save market

Abstract: The State Council's Legal Affairs Office has publicly solicited opinions from the public on the decision of the State Council to amend the publication Administration Regulations (draft) and the decision of the State Council to amend the regulations on audiovisual products management (draft). Which news out

The State Council's Legal Affairs Office has publicly solicited opinions from the public on the decision of the State Council to amend the publication Administration Regulations (draft) and the decision of the State Council to amend the regulations on audiovisual products management (draft). The press and publication administration has taken over part of the Ministry of Culture's supervision of the audiovisual industry, eventually achieving a unified supervision of the entire flow of audio-visual products; The concept of network publication first entered the publication Management Ordinance has aroused wide concern in the industry.

Policy positive

Edition of the Department to master audio-visual products

In the amended regulation, the issue of the unification of supervision over the audiovisual market is particularly interesting. According to the current regulations, China's audiovisual products supervision is divided into two, "the State Council's Publishing Administrative department is responsible for the national audio-visual products publishing, production and reproduction of supervision and management; The State Council Cultural Administration Department is responsible for the national audio-visual products import, wholesale, retail and rental supervision and management work." The new regulations on the management of audiovisual products are no longer expressed in this way. Instead, the publication administrative Department of the State Council is responsible for the supervision and administration of the publication, production, reproduction, import and distribution of audiovisual products in the country.

The unification of supervision function solves the problem of long term management of audio and video publishing enterprises, and greatly improves the efficiency of enterprises in approving. Jiangshihui, general manager of Xiamen Audio and video publishing house, has deep feelings about this, "to be honest, we publishers are most afraid of dealing with the authorities, especially in the same process with a number of competent departments." Jiangshihui further explained to reporters that before because the press and publication Administration and the Ministry of Culture in charge of audio-visual products, so he had to go to Beijing for a project approval frequently, a project to back and forth between the two departments run a lot of, plus some procedures relatively cumbersome, a project to be approved down, Need to consume a lot of human, material and financial resources, this let include Jiangshihui, the majority of business owners fear, miserable.

"If this regulation is formally revised, then we only need to contact a competent unit regularly, naturally it will be much easier, save the energy we can invest more in the development of the market." Jiangshihui smiled and said.

Industrial problems

Import and export easy to save market

In the newly amended Publication Management Ordinance, the threshold for the operation of import business by publishing units is reduced. The existing regulations on the operation of newspapers, periodicals import business has stricter requirements, stipulates that "the operation of newspapers, periodicals import business shall be designated by the State Council publication Administrative department." and the revised version of the deletion of this content, no longer make special provisions. At the same time, the current publishing regulations on the operation of import business units to emphasize solely state-owned enterprises, but the revised version of the emphasis "in line with the State Council of the publication of the administrative departments identified by the organizer and its competent authorities" can be.

Although the import and export policy threshold has been lowered, it is difficult to pull the decline of China's audiovisual market in recent years. The reporter learned that the Chinese audio-visual market has been depressed for many years. "Project approval cumbersome, piracy rampant, the market demand for serious decline is the main cause of the market downturn." Jiangshihui to reporters, Xiamen Audio-visual publishing house has mainly introduced Taiwanese-language audio and video products, programs and songs from Taiwan. "The first problem is the cumbersome approval. "Jiangshihui reluctantly said, because it involves imports, so the competent departments of the approval is extremely strict, often a project to drag a long time." "Most of the time, the project took a lot of effort to get it down, but the market has long been out of fashion." "In addition, piracy and the reduction of market demand have also hit the import and export business quite a lot." "Rampant piracy makes us extremely distressed," Jiangshihui said that often their own easy to talk about the project, the introduction of the mainland for a short period of time is pirated, and at a very low price in the market, in the long run, the copyright protection of the highly valued Taiwanese audio-visual enterprises are also unwilling to export products to the mainland, and the mainland audio-visual enterprises are also Lost the power of introduction.

With the network and other new forms of impact, the continued shrinking of the market share of audio and video publishing houses struggling. "If you observe the market will find that the domestic real audio-visual publishing house or enterprises have been very few, do not say to engage in import and export, even in the domestic audio-visual products are struggling to maintain it." "Jiangshihui said.

Subsequently, the reporter has interviewed several large audio and video publishing houses in Beijing also confirmed this phenomenon, these hung audio and video publishing house brand Enterprises began to turn to new media and other areas of more profitable prospects. "So, while the regulations on audiovisual import and export are very positive, I think the impact on the market is very limited." "Jiangshihui analysis.

Network Publications

New concept difficult to define controversy

The first entry of Internet publications into the publication Management ordinance has sparked widespread controversy in the industry. In the current regulations on publication Management, the provisions on publications include only newspapers, periodicals, books, audio-visual products, electronic publications, etc. Some people in the industry believe that the concept of Web publications itself there are a lot of vague places, such as how to make a clear definition of network publications, how to make a clear division of functional supervision is a problem that needs serious consideration.

To this end, Zhangxiaobin, deputy director of the Research Institute of Economic Theory of China's Publishing Institute, said that it is a general trend for Internet publications to enter into the publication Management regulations, both in essence and in terms of policies, which are necessary additions. "Many people are questioning online publications mainly on the definition of their content." Zhangxiaobin said that the Internet publication into the publication management regulations to be seen in two aspects. First, look at the extension. With the rise of network publications in recent years, the vacuum of policy supervision in this field is becoming more and more obvious, especially in the field of publishing, lack of authoritative policy support, make many network publications can not rely on. Therefore, from this point of view, the Internet publication into the publication Management regulations to first make all forms of network publishing has a fundamental legal basis, which is a very important significance. ”

In the controversial Web publication, Zhangxiaobin said: "The definition of Internet publications is indeed a difficult problem, but we have to see that any legislation has a lag, network publications are emerging things, and constantly changing, now there are no less than more than 10 different forms of network publications." The publication Management Ordinance cannot be made clear at once, which requires continuous refinement and complementarity. ”

At the same time, he said, there is the issue of who should be regulated before online publications, this time it is explicitly under the jurisdiction of the press and publication administration, but also for a series of related policies in the future to find the development of the Regulators, supervisors and the performer. "So, overall, this is a good news for the industrial development has a positive effect." Zhangxiaobin finally said.
