中国考虑立法规范评估服务

The NPC Standing Committee has wrapped up its three-day bimonthly-session. During the session, China’s top legislature reviewed the draft law on assets appraisal, which aims to regulate services and safeguard the legitimate rights of clients.
全国人大常委会结束了为期三天、两月一次的会议。会议期间，中国的最高立法机关审议资产评估法草案，该草案旨在规范服务、保障当事人的合法权利。

This is the first time China’s top legislature has deliberated a draft law on assets appraisal. The draft, which runs to eight chapters and 59 articles, stipulates mainly on the registration of public valuers, obligations and rights of appraisal institutions, supervision over the appraisal industry, and penalties for violations.
这是中国最高立法机关首次商讨资产评估法草案。该草案有8章，59项条款，主要规定资产评估师的注册、义务和评估机构的权利、对评估产业的监督以及违反行为的处罚。

Discussions were intense among senior legislators. Hua Jianmin, Vice Chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, thought the draft should include more items.
最高立法者当中的讨论激烈。全国人大常委会副委员长华建敏认为，草案应该包含更多项目。

Hua Jianmin said, " The appraisal of some very important national treasures like the Great Wall should be included in the draft law. We can learn from the practices of western countries like the US. "
华建敏称：“像长城这样一些非常重要的国宝的评估应该包含在草案法中。我们可以像美国等西方国家学习他们的做法。”

Assets appraisal not only applies to national treasures, it is also affects everyone’s daily life. Cheng Jinpei, a member of the NPC Standing Committee, suggested the registration of public valuers should be tougher.
资产评估不仅适用于国宝，它也影响每个人的日常生活。全国人大常委会委员Cheng Jinpei建议资产评估师的注册应该更加严格。

Cheng Jinpei said, "The current qualification examinations for public valuers are relatively simple and not clearly classified. We should not only rely on the self-regulation of the industry but create a legal standard."
Cheng Jinpei表示：“目前，资产评估师的资格考试相对简单，没有明确归类。我们不应该只依靠行业的自我调节，还应该创造一个法律标准。”

There are about ten thousand appraisal institutions, with more than a hundred thousand registered appraisers and three hundred thousand people employed in the field. The draft law calls for coordinated efforts in different government departments to better regulate the industry.
这个领域约有1万个评估机构、10多万注册评估师以及30多万从业人员。草案法呼吁不同政府部门的协调努力，更好地规范该行业。
