China Youth Daily, Shanghai, May 15 (reporter Wei Qimeng from Zhongqing.com, Zhongqing.com) At the press conference on the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic in Shanghai this morning, Gu Jun, director of the Shanghai Municipal Commission of Commerce, introduced that in order to further improve the work of foreign trade and foreign-funded enterprises to resume work, the Municipal Commission of Commerce formulated the Guidelines for the Work of Resuming Work of Key Foreign Trade Enterprises (Trial), and issued two "white lists" of key foreign trade enterprises, including goods trade. Among them, there are 142 in the first batch and 562 in the second batch. 63% of the enterprises in the first batch of "white list" have resumed work and production, and the second batch of "white list" enterprises are preparing to resume work and production. The third batch of more than 820 names will also be released in the near future.
The Municipal Commission of Commerce has done a good job in system design and enterprise services around "people can get out, cars can move, and goods can be transferred".
First, promote enterprises to implement epidemic prevention and control requirements, and strive to achieve the return of personnel. In conjunction with the districts, we will provide full coverage of services for "white list" enterprises, promote the docking of enterprises with local towns or prevention and control departments, and submit the epidemic prevention and control plan for returning to work according to the principle of "one enterprise, one plan". At the same time, in the business field, the "electronic pass for returning to work" was launched to provide technical support for the return of enterprise personnel.
The second is to improve the vehicle management mechanism and strive to ensure the flow demand of vehicles returning to work and production. The national unified version of the Vehicle Pass for the Transport of Key Materials was launched, and the Notice on the Acceptance Scope of the Vehicle Pass for the Transport of Key Materials in the Foreign Trade Field of the Municipal Commission of Commerce was issued to meet the inter-provincial transport needs of goods and vehicles of foreign trade enterprises. The temporary pass for local cargo transportation in the foreign trade field will be activated to provide a path for local cargo transportation of foreign-funded foreign trade enterprises. In addition, a temporary pass for returning to work and production is also enabled, which provides convenience for enterprises to rent buses and arrange for returning workers to return to work.
The third is to focus on the difficulties and blocking points, and strive to get through all aspects of freight logistics. We will set up special classes for foreign trade and port services, strengthen enterprise policy guidance through platforms such as trade associations, and coordinate and promote targeted solutions to difficulties and blocking points such as warehouse opening, document delivery and transportation aging, which are more concentrated in enterprises. At the same time, play the role of the service linkage mechanism of foreign-funded enterprises in the Yangtze River Delta, coordinate the resumption of work of key enterprises in warehouses in other provinces and cities, and open up cross-regional supply chains.
Fourth, smooth communication channels and actively respond to the concerns of foreign-funded enterprises. Establish a regular dialogue mechanism with consular offices in Shanghai and foreign business associations, strengthen policy interpretation and information communication, actively strive for understanding and support, and stabilize the development expectations of foreign-funded enterprises in Shanghai. Organize a number of online symposiums for foreign-funded enterprises, provide online problem-solving paths for enterprises with relevant departments, and follow up the problem-solving situation to form a closed-loop work.
In the next step, the Municipal Commission of Commerce will dynamically adjust the work plan for foreign-funded enterprises to resume work according to the epidemic prevention and control situation, and promote foreign-funded enterprises to resume normal operations in an orderly manner.
