    In order to speed up the implementation of the strategy for economic
development in the coastal areas, and to promote the development of
export-oriented economy in the coastal areas of our country, the departments
concerned under the State Council, in accordance with the planning and
requirements of the State Council for the sorting out of regulations governing
foreign-related matters, have undertaken the sorting out of the existing
administrative regulations as well as other legal documents (hereinafter
referred to as “the regulations”, for short), promulgated by the State Council
or promulgated with the approval of the State Council. At present, the second
batch of twelve regulations, which have been sorted out and should be
annulled, have been examined, piece by piece, by the Leading Group under
the State Council for the Sorting Out of Regulations jointly with the Bureau
of Legislative Affairs of the State Council and by the State Council; and it
is decided to announce the annulment of the aforesaid regulations (See Annex I
for the post_titles of the aforesaid regulations).

    At the same time, the second batch of sixteen regulations, which have
become invalid automatically, have also been sorted out and examined, piece
by piece, by the Leading Group under the State Council for the Sorting Out of
Regulations jointly with the Bureau of Legislative Affairs of the State
Council; and now these sixteen invalid regulations (See Annex II for their
post_titles) are also included here as Annex II in order to help various regions
