With the further development of the reform and opening-up policies and the improvement of the socialist market economic mechanism, the logistics industry is playing an increasingly prominent role in aspects such as promoting production, guiding consumption, promoting the adjustment of economic structure and economic growth. At present, the overall layout of supply and demand in our commodity market has undergone a fundamental change and the international competition we face is becoming more and more fierce. However, there still exist problems such as comparatively small scale of logistics enterprises, low organizational degree, low modernization degree and imperfect market mechanism in the logistics field, which imperatively requires us to set up and carry into effect a scientific development concept, build a large market, develop a large-scale trade, vitalize large logistics, accelerate the integration of domestic and overseas trades and the integration of trade, industry and agriculture, and promote the adjustment of the economic structure and transformation of economic growth mode so as to contribute to promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural areas and a sound, fast and sustainable development of the national economy. To this end, we put forward the following opinions: I. INTENSIFYING REFORM AND ELEVATING THE COMPETITIVENESS OF LOGISTICS ENTERPRISES (1) We should make efforts to promote the reorganization and system reform of state-owned logistics enterprises. We should actively promote the reform of state-owned logistics enterprises and establish a modern enterprise system. The people's governments at all levels shall, in light of their local situations, adopt all kinds of measures to support the reorganization and system reform of state-owned logistics enterprises and intensify the vitality thereof and elevate the profit-making capability. For any state-owned logistics enterprise that has been at a loss for a long term and has no hope of changing the situation, we should dispose of them by lease, sale, debt reorganization and bankruptcy, according to law; we should support enterprises to carry out inter-industrial, inter-regional and trans-ownership asset reorganizations and encourage all kinds of capital to participate in the reorganization and reform of logistics enterprises. In the process of further carrying on the reform of logistics enterprises, we should pay attention to preserving the credit assets of banks and preventing any evasion or discarding of bank debts. (2) We should handle the historic burdens of state-owned logistics enterprises in a proper manner. The state-owned logistics enterprises are allowed to incorporate the land used or allocated into the total assets of the enterprise to set off their debts after making up the formalities for transfer and paying land transfer fees. State-owned enterprises may, upon the approval of the administrative departments of public finance and state-owned assets, set off the historic debts by selling the state-owned property right held according to the relevant provisions of the state. (3) We should deploy the employers in an appropriate manner and lower the reform costs of state-owned enterprises.

For the income generated from the logistics enterprise's selling off its self-owned property right or office places and the income generated from the disposal of the land used by the enterprise according to law may be used as a priority for the payment of enterprises for the premiums of social insurance and expenses for deploying employees. For the assets of state-owned medium- and small-sized logistics enterprises that are sold exclusively to the business operators or employees of enterprises, the procedures for "bidding invitation, auction and affiliation" shall be improved and shall not be carried out until the procedures for decision-making, asset examination, financial auditing and asset appraisal and verification have been gone through. The rights and interests of enterprise employers shall be safeguarded. Under equal pricing conditions, the assets shall be sold as a priority to employees of the enterprise. Where the asset is sold to any other entity or individual, we should effectively resettle the employees in an appropriate r way. For the logistics enterprises with real tax payment difficulties, the enterprise may apply for deducting or exempting their real estate tax on the production buildings and their urban land use tax according to the provisions in force. (4) We should accelerate the cultivation of large logistics enterprise groups. We should, according to the market economic law and the world trade rules, actively foster a group of large logistics enterprises with good brands, self-owned intellectual property rights and with an outstanding major business, strong core competitiveness and international competitiveness.
