In August 2006, Decision No. 31 was adopted by the State Council. Aimed at strengthening the control of land for specified usage the legislation imposed mandatory bidding, auction or listing procedures on land use rights for industrial use. Prior to this, such mandatory procedures merely applied to the granting of land use rights for commercial, entertainment, tourism and residential purposes only under Decree No. 11. The introduction of land for industrial use into the bidding, auction and listing system was further reinforced when the National People's Congress passed the Property Law which came into force on October 1 2007.
Accordingly, Decree No. 11 was amended to reflect both changed provisions for bidding, auction and listing, and other newly-adopted concepts, in the Property Law(物权法). This was achieved through the promulgation of Decree No. 39 by the Ministry of Land and Resources on September 28 2007.
