The "Regulations" clearly stipulate the principles, procedures and requirements for the party group to exercise the decision-making power of party discipline, and the entire article embodies the principle of the party group to perform the main responsibility of comprehensively and strictly governing the party.

The "regulations" make it clear that for such cases to be investigated and dealt with by the discipline inspection and supervision team, the party group of the competent department shall discuss and make a decision, and inform the local party organization of the results. At the same time, in order to strengthen supervision and restriction, the Regulations also give local party organizations the power to review and decide on cases of violations of discipline by party members and cadres in the vertical management department under certain conditions, and require that in the process of making a decision to file a case for review and review, the local disciplinary committee should Strengthen communication and coordination with the party group of the competent department and the dispatched discipline inspection and supervision team.

The "Notice" pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen organizational leadership to ensure that the study and implementation of the "Regulations" are implemented. In-depth study and comprehensive implementation of the "Regulations" is an important political task.

It is necessary to assist the party committees (party groups) at the same level to do a good job in the study, publicity, education and implementation of the local departments, carefully organize, and transmit pressure at all levels. It is necessary to enrich learning methods, cooperate with organizational departments, party schools (administrative colleges), and cadre colleges to do a good job in special training, and improve the pertinence and effectiveness of learning through various forms such as study seminars and case analysis. The provincial discipline inspection commission should assist the party committees at the same level to study and formulate detailed rules for the implementation of the "regulations" in their respective provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and the discipline inspection and supervision work committee should study and formulate supporting regulations as soon as possible based on the actual work of the central and state organs. It is necessary to strengthen the follow-up and understanding of the implementation of the "Regulations", strengthen work guidance, timely analyze and summarize new situations and new problems encountered in the implementation process, and ask for instructions and reports on important situations level by level.

The regulations will be formally implemented on January 1, 2019.
