探究浦东新区法规变通的内涵与外延

Exploring the Connotation and Extension of Regulatory Flexibility in Pudong New Area

国家基于全面深化改革的需要,全国人民代表大会常务委员会赋予上海市人民代表大会及其常务委员会制定浦东新区法规的权力。根据全国人大常委会的授权,浦东新区法规能够在遵守宪法规定和法律、行政法规的基本原则的前提下,依据浦东新区改革实践的需要制定浦东新区法规,对法律、行政法规、部门规章进行变通规定。而为了界定浦东新区法规在我国社会主义法治体系的地位,便产生了探究浦东新区法规变通的内涵与外延的需要。运用文义解释与体系解释的方式,对变通的内涵分别从变通权力来源、变通对象、变通边界和变通程序等四个角度进行界定。从宪法基础与国家法制统一的角度对浦东新区法规变通的外延进行辨析,得出了浦东新区法规的变通符合形式层面的法制统一,但从实质层面法制统一而言,却无法得出肯定性的结论。

In order to comprehensively deepen reform, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress has granted the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress and its Standing Committee the power to formulate regulations for the Pudong New Area. According to the authorization of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, the regulations of Pudong New Area can be formulated based on the needs of the reform practice of Pudong New Area, while complying with the basic principles of the Constitution and laws and administrative regulations, and adapting the provisions of laws, administrative regulations, and departmental rules. In order to define the status of Pudong New Area regulations in China’s socialist legal system, there is a need to explore the connotation and extension of Pudong New Area regulations’ flexibility. By using textual and systematic explanations, the connotation of flexibility is defined from four perspectives: the source of flexibility power, the object of flexibility, the boundary of flexibility, and the procedure of flexibility. From the perspective of the unity of constitutional foundation and national legal system, the extension of the flexibility of regulations in Pudong New Area is analyzed, and it is concluded that the flexibility of regulations in Pudong New Area conforms to the formal level of legal unity. However, from the substantive level of legal unity, affirmative conclusions cannot be drawn.
