国家出版局关于发布加强对外合作出版管理的暂行规定的报告
一九七九年以来，我国部分出版社开始同国外出版公司合作出版书刊．去年六月，国务院和中央宣传部批准国家出版局《关于加强同国外合作出版的报告》以后，对外合作出版业务有了新的发展．
目前，我国已有四十多家出版社同日本、南斯拉夫、美国、英国、法国、西德、意大利、瑞士、澳大利亚、新加坡等十二个国家和港澳地区的七十多家出版公司，签订了一百二十多项合同，计划合作出版书刊四百余种，主要形式是由我国出版社负责编辑，由外国出版社负责印刷发行．
书稿内容涉及中外语文工具书、教科书、科学技术、农业、医药、体育、美术、文物、旅游、烹调、轻工、建筑等方面．其中已经出版发行的书刊有二十余种．这批书刊，思想内容健康，表现形式活泼，装帧设计新颖，受到国外读者欢迎．
为了总结交流经验，加强对外合作出版工作的领导与管理，我们于一九八一年五月在成都召开了全国对外合作出版工作座谈会．
会议指出，两年来对外合作出版的发展和取得的成绩证明：开展对外合作出版，可以利用国外出版公司的印刷出版条件和发行渠道，在全世界出版发行我们编写的书刊，加强对外宣传和文化交流，扩大我国的影响；同时可以保护我国部分作品的版权和为国家增加外汇收入；也可以吸取
国外先进的出版、印刷、摄影技术和编辑工作经验，改进我国的出版工作．
会议认为，鉴于我们还缺乏经验，对外合作出版目前应当采取稳步前进的方针．各个出版社要统筹兼顾、全面规划，在为国内多出书、出好书的条件下，按照自己的出书方针与范围，逐步地开展对外合作出版工作．
为了适应对外合作出版的需要，会议要求有合作出版任务的出版社要注意选拔、培养熟悉出版业务的外语干部，在今后三、五年内，每个出版社应当配备三、五名外语干部，大的出版社还应多一些．
会议讨论并制订了《加强对外合作出版管理的暂行规定》，现送上，请一并审批．如认为可行，望批转全国执行．

means shall be tried to avoid making payment in foreign exchange for the
economic returns that the other party shall be entitled to.
6. Publication in co-operation with foreign countries shall only be

operate with foreign parties in publishing books or journals published by
other publishing houses. A publishing house that intends to co-operate
with a foreign party in publishing a manuscript shall solicit in advance
the permission of the author or the original editing unit.
7. A publishing house may negotiate co-operative publication business
directly with a foreign party or may entrust a specialized company that
has been authorized by the State to handle co-operative publication
business with foreign countries or entrust a reliable foreign agency with
the negotiation.
8. Foreign units that are to co-operate with China in publication business
shall be those which are friendly to China and have reliable credit and

10. In determining projects of co-operative publication with foreign
countries, the following formalities of examination and approval shall,
depending on the different circumstances, be carried out respectively:
With respect to publications that have been published domestically,
publishing houses at the central level may make their own decisions and
report the projects to the higher competent authority for the record,
whereas publishing houses in the localities shall submit their project
proposals to the publication bureaus of the provinces, municipalities
directly under the Central Government or autonomous regions for
examination and approval.
With respect to publications that have not come off the press
domestically, publishing houses at the central level shall submit their
project proposals to the higher competent authority for examination and
approval, and publishing houses in the localities shall submit their
project proposals to the people's governments of the provinces,
municipalities directly under the Central Government or autonomous regions
for examination and approval. With respect to a project of co-operative
publication of full-length book series whose contents have a nation-wide
bearing, consent of the State Bureau of Publication shall have to be
solicited in advance.
With respect to manuscripts whose contents involve the major principles of
the Party and the State and China's foreign policy and to works by, or
biographies of, the leaders of the Party and the State, the project
proposals shall, after being counter-signed by the State Bureau of
Publication, be submitted to the State Council for examination and
approval.
The taking of photographs of important cultural relics and other rare,
precious objects and the use of such photographs, and the publication of
maps that involve boundary lines of China shall be handled in strict
accordance with the pertinent provisions of the State.

and in the foreign language concerned and the sample version of the item
to be published shall be submitted to the State Bureau of Publication for
the record.
11. With respect to trips abroad and back to China by professional
personnel needed in effecting publication in co-operation with foreign
countries, the competent departments shall simplify the examining and
approving formalities and provide convenience so as to facilitate the
smooth implementation of the contract.
12. For books and journals published cooperatively, remuneration shall be
paid to the authors on the merits of each case and in accordance with the
existing domestic system of remuneration.
For manuscripts that are published for the first time, the remuneration
may be slightly higher than the domestic rates.
If a manuscript that has been published domestically is used, appropriate
fees may as well be paid, which shall in general not exceed 60 percent of
the original remuneration. If works of foreign authors are used, the
remuneration may be slightly higher than that which would be paid to
domestic authors.
The aforesaid remunerations shall be paid in Renminbi. The few really
special cases that require payment in foreign exchange, the payment shall,
upon approval by the higher competent departments, be made out of the
foreign exchange that the units concerned have obtained.
13. In the work of publication in co-operation with foreign countries, it
is imperative for various publishing houses to display the socialist style
of co-operation among themselves, keep each other well informed, and work
in co-ordination when dealing with foreign countries. Differences and
contradictions, should they arise, shall be settled through consultations
among themselves or mediation by higher authorities.
14. In dealings with foreign countries, it is imperative to strictly abide
by the disciplines related to foreign affairs and uphold our national
dignity and state prestige.
