2019年版NGO目录名录发布适用｜MHP君悦评论

2019年4月29日，中华人民共和国公安部发布了《境外非政府组织在中国境内活动领域和项目目录、业务主管单位名录（2019）》（“《目录名录（2019）》”）。这是对《境外非政府组织在中国境内活动领域和项目目录、业务主管单位名录（2017）》（“《目录名录（2017）》”）做出的首次修改。

根据《中华人民共和国境外非政府组织境内活动管理法》（“《NGO法》”）、《境外非政府组织代表机构登记和临时活动备案办事指南》（“《指南》”）及《目录名录（2019）》，境外非政府组织在中国境内申请设立代表机构，根据业务范围、活动地域和开展活动的需要，依照《目录名录（2019）》确定业务主管单位，并经业务主管单位同意后，向登记管理机关申请登记。

对于《目录名录（2019）》的修改与更新，我们简单作出如下总结：

 1、子领域的调整

1.1 《目录名录（2019）》对《目录名录（2017）》中的部分子领域进行了扩充，例如“经济”领域下：子领域“信息通信”扩充为“工业和信息化”。

1.2 《目录名录（2019）》对《目录名录（2017）》中的部分子领域进行了拆分，例如“卫生”领域下：子领域“食品药品”拆分为“药品管理”和“食品”。

1.3 《目录名录（2019）》对《目录名录（2017）》中的部分子领域进行了删除，例如“其他”领域下：删除了原子领域“引进外国人才研究、交流与合作”。

1.4 《目录（2019）》相对于《目录（2017）》增加了11个子领域，“环保”领域增加的子领域数量居首，包括：“生态修复”、“林业改革”、“林业产业发展”、“草原生态保护”、“流域生态环境保护”。

 2、主要项目的调整

2.1 《目录名录（2019）》对《目录名录（2017）》中的部分主要项目进行了扩充，例如“文化”领域的“著作权”子领域下：主要项目“国际著作权相关产业研究”扩充为“国际著作权相关产业研究及合作”。

2.2 《目录名录（2019）》对《目录名录（2017）》中的部分主要项目进行了增加，例如“经济”领域的“农业”子领域下：增加了主要项目“粮食政策、信息、技术、市场开发、贸易、培训、交流与合作”。

2.3 《目录名录（2019）》对《目录名录（2017）》中的部分主要项目进行了删除，例如“经济”领域的“知识产权”子领域下：删除了原主要项目“国际商标理论研究、交流与合作”。

2.4 由于主要项目调整较多，详见所附《目录名录（2019）》。

 3、业务主管单位的调整

3.1 由于2018年进行了国务院机构改革，原先由某些国家或省级主管部门所负责的活动领域现改由机构调整后的相应国家或省级主管部门负责。

3.2 由于《目录名录（2019）》新增了活动领域，故相应新增了业务主管单位。

《目录名录（2019）》（英文版本）附后供参考，我们对调整的内容进行了标注。
