独立董事的独立地位探讨

Research on the Independence of Independent Directors

独立性是独立董事制度存在的基础前提 ,也是独立董事能否在董事会中发挥相应作用的关键所在。独立董事的独立有两个层次上的含义 ,一是形式上的独立 ;二是实质上的独立。现有的制度规范都主要是从独立董事的消极任职资格入手来判定其“独立性”的。

The role of independence influences heavily on the independent director how to fulfill his functions. There are two types of the independence: one is the apparent independence; the other is the essential independence. But, till to now, standards of behavior governmentally imposed on the independent directors can only ensure them to be apparently independent. Therefore there is a reason to doubt that the independent directors can fulfill the norms set for them.
