新一届国务院成立伊始,就提出科学民主决策、依法行政、行政监督三项基本准则。温家宝总理在参加十届全国人大二次会议黑龙江代表团的审议时强调指出,坚持依法行政是建设社会主义法治国家的必然要求和重要环节,也是政府执政为民、履行职责的基本准则,只有建设法治政府,才能建设法治社会和法治国家。3月22日,国务院发布了《全面推进依法行政实施纲要》,《纲要》明确提出,“经过十年左右坚持不懈的努力,基本实现建设法治政府的目标”。《纲要》的发布,是新一届政府的施政目标、施政理念和施政规则的充分体现,标志着我国依法治国方略在政府管理层面开始大踏步地推进。 At the very beginning of the founding of the new State Council, three basic principles of scientific and democratic decision-making, administration by law and administrative supervision were put forward. Premier Wen Jiabao emphasized at the deliberation of the Heilongjiang delegation to the Second Session of the Tenth National People’s Congress that upholding the principle of administering according to law is an inevitable requirement and an important link in building a socialist country governed by the rule of law. It is also the basic guideline for the government to govern for the people and perform its duties. Only by building Rule of law, government can build a society ruled by law and a country ruled by law. On March 22, the State Council promulgated the “Outline for Carrying out the Implementation of the Law-based Administration in an All-round Way,” and the “Outline” clearly states: “After about ten years of unremitting efforts, the goal of building a government ruled by law has basically been achieved.” The promulgation of the “Outline” is a reflection of the administrative objectives, the concept of governance and the rules of governance of the new government. This shows that our strategy of governing the country according to law has been greatly strided forward at the level of government administration.
