LEGISLATIVE WORK IN 2010

-- The NPC Standing Committee formulated and revised important laws in 2010, including the Social Insurance Law, the Law on Deputies to People's Congresses, the Organic Law of Villagers' Committees, the Law on State Compensation, the Criminal Law, the People's Mediation Law, and others.

-- The NPC Standing Committee supervised and guided relevant authorities in completing the concentrated review of existing administrative regulations and local statutes. By the end of last year, the State Council and local people's congresses had revised 107 administrative regulations and 1,417 local statutes, repealed 7 administrative regulations and 455 local statutes, and completed the concentrated review of existing administrative regulations and local statutes, thereby ensuring the socialist system of laws with Chinese characteristics was established on schedule in 2010.

-- The NPC Standing Committee worked hard to make legislation more scientific and democratic, such as getting NPC deputies to fully play their role in legislative work, expanding the orderly participation of citizens in the legislative process, and launching a pilot project last year for evaluating enacted legislation.
