根据中共中央、国务院《关于进一步清理整顿公司的决定》的要求，现将商业部、经贸部、物资部关于进一步清理整顿各类商业批发公司、对外经济贸易公司、物资公司的意见发给你们，请遵照执行。
商业部关于进一步清理整顿各类商业批发公司的意见（略）

附件：对外经济贸易部关于进一步清理整顿各类对外经济贸易公司的意见
根据《中共中央、国务院关于进一步清理整顿公司的决定》，在贯彻《国务院关于清理整顿各类对外经济贸易公司的通知》的基础上，现对进一步清理整顿各类对外经济贸易公司（以下简称对外经贸公司）提出以下意见：
一、各省、自治区、直辖市、计划单列市（以下简称各地方）和中央国家机关各部门所属的各级各类对外经贸公司，都必须严格进行清理整顿。对那些不符合条件的各级各类对外经贸公司，要严格按照全国清理整顿公司领导小组《关于中央国家机关各部门所属公司撤销、合并的意见》
的规定，坚决撤销、合并或取消进出口经营权。清理整顿的重点是1988年以来新成立的各级各类外贸公司；清理整顿后，个别确需保留的，要严格按照经贸部规定的设置外贸企业应具备的六项条件报经贸部重新审定。
二、有下列情况之一的，也要坚决予以撤销、合并或取消其进出口经营权：（一）不到中国银行或国家外汇管理局指定的其它银行结汇，严重逃汇的；（二）与境外商人勾结，协助其在内地直接收购出口商品或办理出口业务，协助其逃汇的；（三）在同一部门或同一地区，凡主管业务
相同或相近，重复设置的；（四）无对外经营条件或缺乏外销渠道，而主要委托其它公司出口的；（五）地方外贸公司在省（自治区、直辖市）外设立的经营进出口业务的分支机构；（六）各地方所属综合外贸公司设立的有进出口经营权的二、三级公司。
三、经严格清理整顿后，各级各类外贸公司按下列规定设置：（一）除经贸部以外，中央各部门所属外贸公司，可根据需要保留一家，个别部门确需按产品专业设置的，由经贸部另行审定，其它的一律撤销、合并或取消进出口经营权。（二）省（自治区、直辖市）属综合外贸公司只保
留一至二家，其它的一律撤销、合并或取消进出口经营权。（三）已有进出口经营权的地区（含地级市，下同）只保留确实需要又具备条件的一至二家外贸公司的进出口经营权，其它的予以撤销、合并或取消进出口经营权（广东、福建两省1987年年底以前设立的除外）。（四）经过国
务院批准的经济技术开发区，只保留一家有进出口经营权的外贸公司，其它的予以撤销、合并或取消进出口经营权。（五）取消县（含县级市，下同）所属外贸公司进出口经营权（广东、福建两省1987年年底前设立的除外）。个别具备条件的，只经营有出口发展前途的本县特产的第三
类出口商品，确需保留其进出口经营权的公司，须报经贸部批准。（六）各省、自治区、直辖市、计划单列市以及经济特区所属经营对苏联、东欧等国家易货贸易的外贸公司，允许保留一至二家，其它的一律撤销、合并或取消其易货贸易权。（七）经国务院批准开设口岸的边境毗邻县所属
经营边境小额易货贸易的公司，允许保留一家，如口岸县不具备条件，可在口岸上属州（或地区、市）保留一家，其它的一律撤销、合并或取消其边境小额易货贸易经营权。
四、未经国务院或经贸部批准设立的国际经济技术合作公司一律撤销。对已经国务院或经贸部批准的国际经济技术合作公司（含与苏联、东欧等国家开展经济技术合作业务的公司），以及扩大对外经济技术合作业务或试点经营第三类出口商品业务的国际经济技术合作公司，各地方、各
部门按照经贸部制定的组建这类公司应具备的七项条件，严格清理整顿后，报经贸部重新审定。
五、要重新核定各级各类外贸公司的业务范围。国家规定的第一类出口商品，由国家指定的外贸、工贸进出口总公司及直属的分公司、子公司按批准的范围经营，并承担国家下达的出口计划和上缴中央外汇任务。其它外贸企业一律不得经营第一类出口商品，如有违反，将其出口收汇全
部没收，上缴中央，并追究领导者的责任。要严格控制外贸企业经营第二类出口商品的业务范围。中央各部门所属的外贸公司按经贸部批准的经营范围经营本系统产品或按批准的经营范围经营第二、三类出口商品；省（自治区、直辖市）属专业外贸公司按核定的经营范围经营第二、三类出
口商品；省（自治区、直辖市）属综合外贸公司保留进出口经营权的地区所属外贸公司以及经济技术开发区的外贸公司，只允许经营第三类出口商品。经营第二、三类商品的各类外贸企业，都要承担中央或地方的出口计划和上缴外汇任务。各级各类外贸企业的进口业务，按照经贸部批准的
进口商品经营范围和现行有关规定执行。
六、各地方、各部门经过这次清理整顿以后保留的对外经贸公司及其经营范围，报经贸部审批；广东、福建两省审批成立的各级各类对外经贸公司经过清理整顿后的撤销、合并方案，也要报经贸部审批。审定保留的对外经贸公司，凭经贸部颁发的审定证书报工商行政管理部门核准，办
理注册登记手续。海南省及各级经济特区的各级各类对外经贸公司，按照有关规定和统一部署进行清理整顿。清理整顿后保留下来的各级各类对外经贸公司，由其对管部门报经贸部备案。如发现有不符合上述规定的公司，经贸部有权撤销，或取消其对外经营权，或调整其经营范围。
七、根据中共中央、国务院有关从国务院到各级政府今后原则上不再直接管理公司的决定，各级各类对外经贸公司和主要经营进出口业务的公司，统一归口由经贸部及各级地方对外经贸主管部门按照国家统一政策，从行业或业务上进行领导和管理。
八、在清理整顿公司工作结束以后，各地方技术比较密集的大中型生产企业和紧密型企业集团自营本企业产品有关的进出口业务，由各地方对外经贸主管部门审批后报经贸部备案；如发现已批准的生产企业或企业集团不具备经营进出口业务条件的，经贸部有权否决。全国性和跨省的企
业集团申请经营进出口业务的，要报经贸部审批。物资部关于进一步清理整顿各类物资公司的意见（略）

emphasis of the checking up and rectification is laid on the foreign trade
companies at various levels and of various types that have been
established since 1988; after the checking up and rectification, if it is
really necessary to retain one or two of them, the case shall be submitted
to the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade for reexamination
and confirmation strictly in accordance with the six prerequisites for the
establishment of foreign trade enterprises, as prescribed by the aforesaid
Ministry.

2. Foreign trade companies that fall under one of the following
circumstances shall resolutely be abolished or merged, or their right to
handle import and export trade shall be revoked:
(1) companies that do not settle their foreign exchange with the Bank of
China or with other banks designated by the State Administration for
Foreign Exchange Control, and have evaded foreign exchange control
seriously;
(2) companies that have colluded with external businessmen and helped them
purchase export goods directly from the inland or handle export business,
thereby helping them evade foreign exchange control;
(3) companies that have been established in the same department or in the
same region, handling the same or similar business, so they are just
reduplicate setups;

foreign trade, or lack external marketing channels for handling export

established in accordance with the following provisions:
(1) With the exception of the Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and
Trade, from among the foreign trade companies attached to the various
departments under the Central Government, one company for each of the
aforesaid departments may be retained, depending on their respective
needs; where one or two departments really need(s) to set up companies for
specialized products, the case shall be examined and confirmed by the
Ministry of Foreign Economic Relations and Trade separately; as to the
other companies, they shall all be abolished or merged, or their right to
handle import and export business shall be revoked.
(2) From among the comprehensive foreign trade companies attached to
provinces (autonomous regions, or municipalities directly under the

the end of 1987). As to one or two special cases where the foreign trade
companies meet the prescribed requirements and handle only the local
specialties of their counties, that is, the third category of export
commodities promising a bright prospect of export sales, and thus it is
