中国石油价格监管体制应如何应对“入世”

CChina Must Adapt Its Oil Price Monitoring System forthe WTO

“入世”要求我国政府转变行政理念、管理方式和管理手段,成为服务型、有限、有效的政府。对应到石油价格监管,迫切需要尽快建立和完善符合WTO运行规则的、符合中国国情的新型石油价格监管体制和运行机制。新型石油价格监管体制在监管的内容方面,应以宏观调控为主,制定石油市场价格运行规则,并通过反暴利、反垄断等法律法规,保护市场经营主体和消费者的合法权益;在监管手段方面,应减少行政命令,依靠法律手段和必要的经济手段,确保监管的公开、公正、透明和连续性;在监管结果方面,对在监管过程中出现的超越权限、违规等行为,应有法规给予纠正和补救,以减少不必要的损失。为了能够实现新型石油价格监管体制的建立,还必须进行一些配套改革,其中包括构建符合WTO运行规则、符合中国国情的新型石油流通体系。
