Summary

(1)　 The Vice Chairman of the Fujian Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Mr. Yuan Zhongxian, and other directors, secretaries, and committee members, I have been entrusted by the Fujian Provincial Government to explain the "Fujian Provincial Agricultural Product Quality Safety Ordinance (Draft)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Ordinance (Draft)").

(2)　 The necessity of drafting the Ordinance lies in three aspects:

(3)　 Firstly, it is to implement the decisions and requirements of the Party Central Committee, the State Council, the Provincial Party Committee, and the Provincial Government. The safety of agricultural products is crucial to the health and life of the people, and it is a major project for the people's livelihood and the people's heart. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed implementing a food safety strategy to allow the people to eat with confidence. The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized the deployment of food safety work from the perspective of promoting the modernization of the national security system and capacity, and required the strengthening of food safety supervision. The Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government issued the "Action Plan for Deepening Reform and Strengthening Food Safety Work in Fujian Province", which specified the work requirements for strengthening agricultural product quality safety supervision. Therefore, drafting the Ordinance is an important measure to implement the decisions and requirements of the Party Central Committee, the State Council, the Provincial Party Committee, and the Provincial Government.

(4)　 Secondly, it is to provide legal guarantees for strengthening agricultural product quality safety supervision in our province. The "Agricultural Product Quality Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" was promulgated and implemented in 2006. Over the past decade, our province has thoroughly implemented the "Agricultural Product Quality Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", but has not yet formulated local regulations to match it. In recent years, agricultural product quality safety has been a hot issue raised by the people's representatives and members of the Provincial Committee for Consultation, and many representatives and members have suggested speeding up local legislation. In 2017, the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress conducted an inspection and inquiry on the enforcement of the "Agricultural Product Quality Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", and emphasized the need to accelerate local legislation and issue local regulations to match the above-level law as soon as possible. Therefore, it is necessary to draft the Ordinance to refine and supplement the "Agricultural Product Quality Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and to strengthen the legal defense line to safeguard the "safety on the tip of the tongue" of the people.

(5)　 Thirdly, it is a practical need to further improve the level of agricultural product quality safety in our province. In recent years, our province has consistently implemented the requirements of Xi Jinping's "most stringent standards, most strict supervision, most severe punishment, and most serious accountability" and has made solid progress in agricultural product quality safety supervision, which has effectively promoted the stable and good development of agricultural product quality safety in the province. At the same time, our province still faces difficulties and challenges in agricultural product quality safety work, mainly including: pesticide and veterinary drug residues exceeding standards, frequent prohibition of prohibited substances, weak administrative penalties, low costs of violation, weak grassroots supervision capabilities, and difficulty in implementing "the last mile" of supervision. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to draft the Ordinance to further regulate the above-mentioned situations on the institutional level and to continuously improve the level of agricultural product quality safety in our province.

(6)　 The "Ordinance (Draft)" adopts a chapter-based structure, consisting of 7 chapters and 49 articles, including General Provisions, Agricultural Product Origin, Agricultural Product Production, Agricultural Product Sales, Supervision and Management, Legal Liability, and Appendices. The main contents are as follows:

(7)　 Firstly, the Ordinance clarifies the responsibilities of various parties to ensure the quality safety of agricultural products in our province. To strengthen the responsibilities of all parties and form a joint force to safeguard the quality safety of agricultural products, the Ordinance makes the following provisions:

(8)　 1. It clarifies the government's responsibility, requiring county-level governments to take the lead in organizing and coordinating agricultural product quality safety work in their administrative regions, establishing and improving the agricultural product quality safety mechanism and grid-based supervision management system (Articles 3 and 4). 2. It clarifies the responsibilities of departments, specifying the responsibilities of the agricultural and rural, oceanic and fishery, forestry, health, grain storage, and market supervision departments in agricultural product quality safety work (Article 5). 3. It clarifies the responsibilities of agricultural product producers and operators, requiring them to be responsible for the quality safety of the agricultural products they produce and operate, and to conduct production and operation activities in accordance with laws, regulations, and agricultural product quality safety standards, and

(2)　 主任、各位副主任、秘书长、各位委员：

(3)　 我受福建省人民政府委托，现就《福建省农产品质量安全条例（草案）》（以下简称《条例（草案）》）作如下说明：

(4)　 一、关于制定条例的必要性

(5)　 一是贯彻落实党中央、国务院决策部署和省委、省政府工作要求。农产品质量安全事关人民群众身体健康和生命安全，是重大的民生工程、民心工程。党的十九大提出，实施食品安全战略，让人民吃得放心。党的二十大报告从推进国家安全体系和能力现代化的高度对食品安全工作作出部署，要求强化食品安全监管。省委、省政府印发《福建省深化改革加强食品安全工作行动方案》，对加强农产品质量安全监管提出具体工作要求。因此，制定条例是贯彻党中央、国务院决策部署和省委、省政府工作要求的重要举措。

(6)　 二是加强我省农产品质量安全监管的法治保障。《中华人民共和国农产品质量安全法》于2006年公布施行。十多年来，我省深入贯彻落实《中华人民共和国农产品质量安全法》，但尚未配套出台地方性法规。近年来，农产品质量安全一直是我省人大代表、政协委员关注的热点问题，不少代表、委员都提出了加快我省地方立法的建议。2017年，省人大常委会开展《中华人民共和国农产品质量安全法》执法检查和专题询问，明确要求加快地方立法步伐，尽快出台与上位法配套的地方性法规。因此，有必要制定条例，对《中华人民共和国农产品质量安全法》进行细化和补充，着力筑牢全过程全链条守护人民群众“舌尖上的安全”的法治防线。

(7)　 三是进一步提升我省农产品质量安全水平的现实需要。近年来，我省坚定不移贯彻落实习近平总书记提出的“最严谨的标准、最严格的监管、最严厉的处罚、最严肃的问责”要求，扎实推进农产品质量安全监管，有力促进全省农产品质量安全形势稳定向好。与此同时，我省农产品质量安全工作仍然面临困难和挑战，主要是：农药兽药残留超标时有发生，禁用物质屡禁不止；行政处罚力度偏弱，违法成本偏低；基层监管能力薄弱，监管“最后一公里”难以落实等。因此，亟需通过制定条例，对上述情形在制度层面予以进一步规范，持续提升我省农产品质量安全水平。

(8)　 二、关于《条例（草案）》几个主要问题的说明

(12)　 三是关于农产品生产的问题。为把好农产品生产安全关，从源头上确保农产品质量安全，《条例（草案）》从以下三个方面作出规定：一是农业农村、海洋渔业、林业部门制定保障农产品质量安全的生产技术要求和操作规程，并加强宣传、培训、指导、推广；农产品生产企业、农民专业合作社等主体按照农产品生产技术要求和操作规程规范生产、服务（第十六条、第十七条）。二是要求农产品生产企业、农民专业合作社等主体做好农产品生产记录，农业投入品的经营者建立销售台账（第十八条、第十九条）。三是对农业投入品使用、绿色优质农产品培育等内容作出规定（第二十条至第二十二条）。
