国办发（1994）99号 The Arbitration Law of the People's Republic of China （hereafter referred to as the Arbitration Law） has been passed at the Ninth Meeting of the Standing Committee of the Eighth National People's Congress on August 31， 1994， and shall be effective as of September 1， 1995. This Law is another important law for settling economic disputes which meets the needs of a socialist market economy and is in line with international practice. Arbitration institutions are independent from administrative organs and are not subject to administrative organs in accordance with the Arbitration Law. The existing arbitration institutions shall be reorganized in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Law； the institutions which have not been reorganized before September 1， 1995 when the Arbitration Law goes into effect may continue until September 1， 1996； the new arbitration institutions shall be established by the people's governments of the municipalities directly under the Central Government， the cities where the people's governments of the provinces and autonomous regions are located and other cities divided into districts which need to set up arbitration institutions through organizing the relevant departments and commercial councils； and a China Arbitration Association shall be established. Implementing the preceding provisions has a tight schedule， involves many complicated issues， requires some research through conducting experiments， and needs to be unified and standardized on the basis of experience from the experiment. In order to insure the smooth implementation of this work， the leaders of the State Council have agreed on the following notices： 1. Reorganization of arbitration institutions shall be carried out in the cities of Beijing， Shanghai， Tianjin， Guangzhou， Xi'an， Huhe hot and Shenzhen on a trial basis. These seven cities shall make a study of such issues as the establishment of arbitration institutions， the appointment of an arbitrator and the make-up， articles of association， registration， property and funds of the arbitration committee， and make proposals in these areas. The leadership of this work shall be strengthened and a responsible comrade in the municipal government shall be in charge； the specific work shall be organized by the Bureau or Office of Legislative Affairs， and the Justice Administration， the Industry and Commerce Administration and other administrations， the Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the Association of Industry and Commerce shall also participate. ~24.2. In order to ensure that the reorganization of arbitration institutions is carried out in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Law and to strengthen the leadership of such reorganization， it has been resolved that the Bureau of Legislative Affairs of the State Council （BLA）which is in charge of the reorganization， the State Economic and Trade Commission， the State Commission for Restructuring the Economy， the Ministry of Justice， the State Administration for Industry and Commerce， the Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce which are involved in this work， make a study of relevant problems and work out specific opinions on the standards which shall be arranged after they are submitted to and agreed to by the leaders of the State Council. Thus， BLA shall hold an meeting at a proper time with the experimental cities attending， whose time and place will be notified in a separate method. 3. The reorganization of arbitration institutions and the establishment of the China Arbitration Association will proceed in two steps. First， the arbitration institutions will be reorganized； then， on this base， the China Arbitration Association will be established. Preparations for the establishment of the China Arbitration Association may be made earlier. The BLA， which is in charge of the work， and the State Economic and Trade Commission， the State Commision for Restructuring the Economy， the Ministry of Justice， the State Administration for Industry and Commerce， the Council for the Promotion of International Trade， the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce， which will participate in the work， will mainly make a study concerned with the establishment of the China Arbitration Association， the drafting of its articles of association and of its arbitration rules. 4.

On the basis of the experiences and research results of the localities， after being arranged by the State Council， the cities which need to establish arbitration institutions in accordance with the law shall begin to reorganize the arbitration institutions according to the unified standards.
