國(guó)務(wù)院總理李克強(qiáng)在日前召開的地方政府職能轉(zhuǎn)變和機(jī)構(gòu)改革工作電視電話會(huì)議上指出,如果說(shuō)中央政府改革是上篇,地方政府改革就是下篇,需要整體構(gòu)思、通盤考慮、上下貫通,把政府改革的整篇文章做好。

李克強(qiáng)指出，政府改革（government reform）的主要目的，就是進(jìn)一步理順政府和市場(chǎng)、政府和社會(huì)、中央和地方的關(guān)系（to clearly define the relations between government and the market, between government and society and between central and local governments），更好地發(fā)揮市場(chǎng)、社會(huì)的作用，更好地調(diào)動(dòng)中央和地方兩個(gè)積極性，推動(dòng)政府全面正確地履行職能（make sure that the government fully plays its part），加快現(xiàn)代政府建設(shè)（to accelerate the development of modern government），努力促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)持續(xù)健康發(fā)展、社會(huì)不斷進(jìn)步，不斷滿足人民群眾的新期待、新要求。

在提到地方政府職能轉(zhuǎn)變（the transformation of local government functions）時(shí)，李克強(qiáng)講到以下幾點(diǎn)：

1. 要接好放好中央下放的審批事項(xiàng)（Local governments should properly take over or further release as required approval power delegated by the central government）；

2. 要最大限度地取消地方行政審批事項(xiàng)（We should minimize the number of items subject to administrative review and approval by local governments）；

3. 要加強(qiáng)地方政府管理服務(wù)職能（Local governments need to enhance their functions in both regulation and services）；

4. 改革創(chuàng)新監(jiān)管方式，建立一套科學(xué)監(jiān)管的規(guī)則和方法（We also need to reform and innovate ways of supervision and establish a set of scientific rules and methods of supervision）；

5. 搞好保障民生的基本公共服務(wù)（To ensure basic public services essential to people's livelihood）；

6. 要更加重視基層政府建設(shè)（We need to place greater importance on the building of community-level governments）。

講到地方機(jī)構(gòu)改革（local institutional reform）時(shí)，李克強(qiáng)指出，這次地方政府機(jī)構(gòu)改革，要著力搞好“控、調(diào)、改”。

1. 要嚴(yán)控機(jī)構(gòu)編制總量（The size of government staffing must be put under rigorous control）；

2. 要調(diào)整優(yōu)化機(jī)構(gòu)編制結(jié)構(gòu)（The organization and staffing structure of government agencies should be adjusted and improved）；

3. 要通過(guò)深化改革滿足事業(yè)發(fā)展的需要（Reform should be deepened to meet our needs for development）。
