  The Foreign Trade and Economic Commissions (Offices or Bureaus), Departments (Bureaus) of Commerce of all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government, cities separately listed in the state budgetary planning, and branches/foreign exchange authorities of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange in provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government, and Shenzhen, Dalian, Qingdao, Xiamen, and Ningbo, the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, and all companies directly under the central government:

  In 2003, all local commerce authorities, local foreign exchange authorities and headquarters of companies directly reporting to the central government (hereinafter referred to as the annual inspectors), on the basis of close coordination and cooperation as well as efforts to overcome the impacts of the SARS epidemic, carried out the first joint annual inspection and comprehensive performance evaluation of overseas enterprises set up by Chinese corporations with their direct investment. Anticipated effect was achieved. Experience shows that the joint annual inspection mechanism has played an important role in reinforcing and perfecting the macro supervision and regulation of Chinese overseas investment, which therefore should be carried on. However, there still existed some deficiencies in the joint annual inspection in 2003. For example, a few provincial and municipal investors did not pay enough attention to the inspection and failed to fulfill their obligation of being supervised and regulated, which was manifested by the fact that some overseas enterprises did not take part in the inspection as they were not dually informed by their domestic investors.

  As the joint annual inspection and comprehensive performance evaluation in 2004 will soon start, all annual inspectors are kindly requested to be fully and carefully prepared On the basis of the overall experience of 2003, the annual inspection and comprehensive performance evaluation in 2004 is expected to be more successful.
