2. First of all taking into consideration the work of the Party and the state, we must put improvement of the effectiveness of oversight at the center of all our efforts related to oversight. We must always handle matters in accordance with the law and stipulated procedures, collectively exercise our functions and powers, fully implement the Law on Oversight, step up efforts to implement the Constitution and laws, and put the focus of oversight on serious problems that affect overall reform, development and stability, that have an impact on social harmony and that cause great resentment among the masses. We must use a combination of legally defined oversight means, strengthen thorough oversight and work hard for substantive results. Striving to promote improvement in the work of the State Council, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate, we need to set up a sound permanent mechanism for solving problems. We must ensure that wherever there is a law it must be obeyed and enforced strictly and that persons who violate laws are prosecuted, safeguard social fairness and justice and the unity, sanctity and authority of the socialist legal system, and give more play to the oversight role of the NPC in promoting law-based government administration, ensuring fairness in the judicial system and protecting the interests of the people.
First, we must promote both sound and rapid development of the national economy by listening to and deliberating the State Council's report on the intermediate assessment of the implementation of the Outline of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development, work reports on plan implementation, the final accounts of the central government and auditing and other special work reports and urging relevant departments to implement the guidelines set out at the Central Economic Work Conference.
Second, we need to promote the building of a new socialist countryside by listening to and deliberating the State Council's report on promoting steady increase in rural incomes and by inspecting the implementation of the Law on Specialized Farmer Cooperatives.
Third, we need to promote efforts to conserve energy and reduce emissions by listening to and deliberating the special work reports of the State Council on progress in efforts to prevent and control water pollution and by inspecting the implementation of the Environmental Impact Assessment Law.
Fourth, we need to truly protect the lawful rights and interests of workers and ensure the healthy growth of children by inspecting the implementation of the Law on Labor Contracts, the Compulsory Education Law and the Law on the Protection of Minors.
Fifth, we must promote fairness in the judicial system and safeguard social stability by listening to and deliberating the special work reports of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate on criminal prosecution and oversight for laws on criminal prosecution.
3. We need to respect the principal position of NPC deputies, maintain an attitude of service to them, further improve the work system, intensify efforts and create the conditions necessary for them to exercise their functions and powers in accordance with the law, maintain even closer contact with the people and expand their participation in the activities of the Standing Committee, centering efforts on full implementation of Document No. 9 of the Central Committee and starting with efforts to uphold and improve the system of people's congresses in order to constantly raise the level of the work related to deputies and strengthen their role in participating in the administration of state affairs.
First, we must carefully handle the proposals and suggestions that deputies submitted during the First Session of the Eleventh NPC. We need to be more effective in taking into consideration deputy proposals in legislative work and be more effective in using deputy proposals to improve the work of the NPC and truly improve the handling of deputy proposals.
Second, we will continue to organize special topic surveys and collective inspection tours for deputies, improve activities for deputy teams and enhance the effectiveness of activities.
Third, we will continue to invite deputies to attend meetings of the Standing Committee, increase the number of deputies invited to participate in law enforcement inspections by an appropriate amount and further expand deputy participation in the activities of special committees.
Fourth, within the year we plan to organize various forms of training for new deputies on how to carry out their duties to strengthen their ability to carry out their duties in accordance with the law and further improve the work of deputy contact offices.
