Dear Vice Mayor Mu Zengli of Linyi City, Chairman Liu Toyota of Shandong Plastics Industry Association, Chairman Tan Fangfeng of Shandong Plastics Company, distinguished guests and friends:

Good morning, everyone. I am extremely happy when the Linyi Plastics Industry Association was established and the first Linyi Plastics Industry Development Seminar was held. On behalf of China Plastics Processing Industry Association and in my own name, I sincerely wish Linyi Plastics Industry Association prosperity! I wish the seminar a complete success!

In 2005, the output of plastic products in Shandong Province accounted for 7.18 percent of the country's total, ranking fourth in the country. The plastic products trading market in Linyi City has become a regional trading center and an important part of the plastic industry in Shandong Province. Linyi plastic industry association is a member of the national regional plastic industry association, its establishment marks the Linyi plastic industry has entered a new period of development, to guide the sustainable and healthy development of Linyi plastic industry has an important significance. I hope that your association will do practical things for the development of the industry and enterprises in line with the purpose of serving the industry and enterprises, advocate industry self-discipline, work actively, and make new contributions to the progress of my country's plastics industry and local economic growth.

Next, I would like to "play the role of industry associations to promote the development of the plastics industry", to talk about their own understanding, for your reference.

The 1. industry association is an important intermediary organization that undertakes the self-discipline industry management function and an important organizational guarantee for the government to change its functions.

Trade associations are non-profit social organizations that engage in economic activities of the same nature and voluntarily organize to safeguard common legitimate economic interests. In the development of socialist market economy, trade associations play an irreplaceable role. The central leadership has pointed out that it is necessary to vigorously cultivate and develop trade associations to serve the socialist market economy. In the report of the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Jiang pointed out: First, the production and management rights of enterprises are handed over to enterprises; second, the power of macro-control of the national economy is reserved for comprehensive economic departments; third, a large number of service, coordination, notarization, supervision, and self-discipline functions are transferred to social intermediary organizations. The development of industry associations is an important additive to improve and cultivate industry associations to deepen reform and promote enterprise reform. With the development of the situation, it is more and more important and urgent to cultivate and develop trade associations.

We must actively cultivate and develop industry associations that meet the requirements of the socialist market economy, and assume part of the government's self-discipline industry management functions that need to be transferred to industry associations. Under the conditions of my country's socialist market economy, effectively solving the problems existing in the development of industry associations, vigorously promoting the healthy development of industry associations, and giving full play to their active role are conducive to the development of the socialist market economy, maintaining market order and industry economic interests; Promote the reform of the administrative management system, promote the transformation of government functions, and improve the ability to control the market economy; help adapt to the rules of the World Trade Organization, respond to international trade frictions, and expand opening up.

The Historical Mission and Role of 2. Industry Associations

It is a complex system engineering to develop industry associations, improve and strengthen industry management, and improve industry organizations and management institutions. At present, many problems in industry management have yet to be straightened out, and the organizational function of industry associations cannot be brought into full play. only by making bold explorations and actively developing can the development of the association be full of vigor and vitality.

Trade associations should strengthen their counterparts with higher-level departments, provide good services for the development of the industry, rely on backbone enterprises, organize enterprises in the whole industry, and jointly discuss key issues in the development of trade associations. Trade associations should hold meetings democratically and give full play to the overall functions of trade associations, and the chairman, vice-chairman, chief and deputy secretary-general should all play a role.

At present, industry associations are facing an excellent opportunity for development. Cultivating and developing industry associations has become a consensus issue for party and government leaders at all levels. As far as the plastics industry is concerned, provinces and cities that have not yet established industry associations are actively preparing for the establishment of associations. Provinces and cities that have established associations are constantly strengthening their own construction to meet the requirements of the government, enterprises and various parties facing the association.

Industry associations should take folklore as the direction, system innovation as the breakthrough, and give full play to their functions as the goal, vigorously cultivate and develop new industry associations and chambers of commerce, and give full play to the positive role of industry associations in developing economy, expanding opening up, improving system, coordinating relations, standardizing behavior and promoting harmony, so as to better promote the all-round economic and social development of Linyi.

3. industry associations should learn from foreign advanced experience for the industry for the enterprise service

The trade association must take service as its purpose, and effectively represent and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests and common economic interests of the trade and its members. Actively organize market development, release market information, carry out industry training, exchange, consultation, exhibition and sales activities. Assist government departments to carry out industry investigation, decision-making consultation and industrial policy formulation and other activities. Objectively and impartially mediate conflicts and disputes between members, between members and non-members, and between members and consumers, and play its role in safeguarding social and public interests. In foreign countries, the national government pays attention to relying on industry associations and playing the role of industry associations. The secret of the success of the association lies in the good cooperative relationship between enthusiastic members and full-time staff. Bureaucracy and arrogant style are intolerable. China's industry associations are still in the initial stage, association management is a science, how to "integrate" with foreign industry associations, and better serve the industry for enterprises. It is worth considering by those who have been engaged in the work of the association and those who will be engaged in the work of the association.

my country's central leadership and relevant leaders have repeatedly pointed out that it is necessary to learn from the experience of foreign industry management, and the establishment of industry associations should be jointly initiated by enterprises. my country's industry must be planned, organized, and managed according to industry. There is no industry management. In 1993, Premier Zhu said at a meeting of trade associations: "I think Japan has something to learn from in terms of institutional setup. It is a market economy, but the macro control is also very strict. The Ministry of Trade and Industry has replaced dozens of our ministries. It is solved through thousands of trade associations. These trade associations are regional, composed mainly of enterprises, and have great authority. It is responsible for distributing sales to enterprises. When there is a surplus of products, the trade association will close down the factories with poor efficiency, and then other manufacturers in the same industry will help these manufacturers to switch to other products. When the supply of products exceeds the demand, the trade association will decide which manufacturer to rebuild and expand production. This effectively prevents duplication of construction and blind construction. From this point of view, China's trade associations should also be changed. "I think how profound Premier Zhu's speech is, pointing out the direction of progress for China's trade associations, and if China's existing more than 290 industrial and commercial associations can follow the road of Japan's association, it will greatly promote the deepening reform of state organs and avoid or reduce the loss of unknown amount of repeated construction and repeated investment in the development of the market economy.

Wu Bangguo said at a forum on the economic operation situation of provinces, autonomous regions and cities on May 5, 1998 that "one of the functions of Japanese trade associations is the distribution of the market and the coordination of prices."

In addition, Vice Premier Li Lanqing's instructions on August 6, 1998 to Lu Dong's article "Strong Industry Management and Give Play to the Role of Industry Associations" pointed out: "Associations, industry associations and other organizations are necessary institutions under the socialist market economy, and they are also certain The direction of government institutional reform.

4. strengthen the organization and construction of the branch and special committee of China Plastics Association to serve the enterprise well

As far as I know, there are more than 480 associations in China; there are thousands of trade associations in Japan, about 1300. Now it seems that there are not many hundreds of associations for a big country like China. The problem is that the unequal competition is also reflected in the associations. Therefore, the Ministry of Civil Affairs issued a notice to clean up the branches and special committees of the association. China Plastics Association has 26 branches. One is based on the original after integration, retention and, such as agricultural film, artificial leather/synthetic leather, polyurethane products, pipes, profile and door and window products, biaxially oriented polypropylene film, biaxially oriented polyester film, composite film products, PVC hard board products, foam EPS, modification, fluoroplastic processing, injection molding products, hollow products, woven products, hard PVC low foaming board, plastic technology cooperation committee and other 17 branches, not only need to be retained, but also need to be further strengthened. Second, nine branches have been newly established, including plastic water-saving equipment, engineering plastics, degradable plastics, medical plastics, multifunctional masterbatch, rotational molding, plastic recycling, plastic wood products, and expert committees. Under the leadership of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the China National Light Industry Council, the China Plastics Association must have a leap-forward development in its organizational construction. In the process of gradually strengthening the functions of the industry association, we will strengthen the organizational construction of the China Plastics Association and the ideological construction of the association's personnel. And the improvement of the business level, as far as possible to serve the industry and the enterprise, in the process of moving towards the 21st century to better fulfill the historical mission of the industry association.

The China Plastics Processing Industry Association actively implements industry management, plays the role of a bridge and link between industry associations, and strengthens international exchanges. It has established liaison relations with plastics associations in more than a dozen countries or regions, and has conducted technical exchanges with hundreds of foreign plastics group companies. And economic and trade negotiations; China Plastics Association also hosted and supported "China Plastics". Plastic Abroad. Science and technology and information publications such as "China Plastics Association Newsletter" have established the "China Plastics Association Information Network (net name www.cppia.com.cn)" and are establishing the China Plastics Association database. Colleagues are welcome to read these publications and browse the website, and would like to make comments and suggestions and contribute actively. In order to promote the new development of the national plastics industry through the activities of the plastics industry association.

Let us China Plastics Association work closely with Linyi Plastics Industry Association and Shandong Plastics Association, under the care, attention and guidance of Linyi Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government, Municipal Economic and Trade Commission, and Civil Affairs Bureau, to promote Linyi's industrial economic prosperity and plastics industry Make a certain contribution to the healthy development of the industry
