听证,作为一项法律程序,始于50多年前的美国。1946年,美国制定《联邦行政程序法》,第一次规定听证程序为行政程序的核心。它的基本精神是:以程序的公正,保证结果的公正。中国价格听证制度建设起步于1998年5月1日开始实施的《价格法》。 新闻媒体只有全面、客观、公正地报道价格听证,才能见证中国价格听证制度的成长,推进中国价格决策的民主、法制进程。 Hearing, as a legal process, began in the United States more than 50 years ago. In 1946, the United States enacted the Federal Administrative Procedure Law, which stipulates for the first time that the hearing procedure is the core of the administrative procedure. Its basic spirit is: to be fair in procedure and to ensure the fairness of the result. China’s price hearing system started in May 1, 1998 began to implement the “Price Law.” Only when the news media comprehensively, objectively and fairly covers price hearings can we witness the growth of China’s price hearing system and promote the democratic and legal process in making price decisions in China.
