商务部实施外国投资者并购境内企业安全审查制度
有关事项的暂行规定
一、外国投资者并购属于《国务院办公厅关于建立外国投资者并购境内企业安全审查制度的通知》明确的并购安全审查范围的境内企业，应向商务部提出并购安全审查申请。
两个或者两个以上外国投资者共同并购的，可以共同或确定一个外国投资者向商务部提出并购安全审查申请（以下简称申请人）。
二、地方商务主管部门在按照《关于外国投资者并购境内企业的规定》、《外商投资企业投资者股权变更的若干规定》等有关规定受理并购交易申请时，对于属于并购安全审查范围，但申请人未向商务部提出并购安全审查申请的，应暂不受理并购交易申请，书面要求申请人向商务部提交并购安全审查申请，并将有关情况上报商务部。
三、在向商务部提出并购安全审查正式申请前，申请人可就其并购境内企业的程序性问题向商务部提出商谈申请。
四、在向商务部提出并购安全审查正式申请时，申请人应提
交下列文件：
（一）经申请人的法定代表人或其授权代表签署的并购安全审查申请书和交易情况说明；
（二）经公证和依法认证的外国投资者身份证明或注册登记证明及资信证明文件；法定代表人身份证明或外国投资者的授权代表委托书、授权代表身份证明；
（三）外国投资者及关联企业（包括其实际控制人、一致行动人）的情况说明，与相关国家政府的关系说明；
（四）被并购境内企业的情况说明、章程、营业执照（复印件）、上一经审计的财务报表、并购前后组织架构图、所投资企业的情况说明和营业执照（复印件）；
（五）并购后拟设立的外商投资企业的合同、章程或合伙协议以及拟由股东各方委任的董事会成员、聘用的总经理或合伙人等高级管理人员名单；
（六）为股权并购交易的，应提交股权转让协议或者外国投资者认购境内企业增资的协议、被并购境内企业股东决议、股东大会决议，以及相应资产评估报告；
（七）为资产并购交易的，应提交境内企业的权力机构或产权持有人同意出售资产的决议、资产购买协议（包括拟购买资产的清单、状况）、协议各方情况，以及相应资产评估报告；
（八）关于外国投资者在并购后所享有的表决权对股东
会或股东大会、董事会决议、合伙事务执行的影响说明，其他导致境内企业的经营决策、财务、人事、技术等实际控制权转移给外国投资者或其境内外关联企业的情况说明，以及与上述情况相关的协议或文件；
（九）商务部要求的其他文件。
五、申请人所提交的并购安全审查申请文件完备且符合法定要求的，商务部应书面通知申请人受理申请。
属于并购安全审查范围的，商务部在15个工作日内书面告知申请人，并在其后5个工作日内提请外国投资者并购境内企业安全审查部际联席会议（以下简称联席会议）进行审查。
自书面通知申请人受理申请之日起的15个工作日内，申请人不得实施并购交易，地方商务主管部门不得进行并购审查。15个工作日后，商务部未书面告知申请人的，申请人可按照国家有关法律法规办理相关手续。
六、商务部收到联席会议书面审查意见后，在5个工作日内将审查意见书面通知申请人（或当事人），以及负责并购交易管理的地方商务主管部门。
（一）对不影响国家安全的，申请人可按照《关于外国投资者并购境内企业的规定》、《外商投资企业投资者股权变更的若干规定》、《关于外商投资企业境内投资的暂行规定》等有关规定，到具有相应管理权限的相关主管部门办理并购
交易手续。
（二）对可能影响国家安全的，申请人未经调整并购交易、修改申请文件并经重新审查，不得申请并实施并购交易。
（三）外国投资者并购境内企业行为对国家安全已经造成或可能造成重大影响的，根据联席会议审查意见，商务部会同有关部门终止当事人的交易，或采取转让相关股权、资产或其他有效措施，以消除该并购行为对国家安全的影响。
七、在商务部向联席会议提交审查后，申请人对申报文件有关内容做出修改或撤销并购交易的，应向商务部提交交易修改方案或撤销并购交易申请。商务部在收到申请报告及有关文件后，于5个工作日内提交联席会议。
八、外国投资者并购境内企业，国务院有关部门、全国性行业协会、同业企业及上下游企业认为需要进行并购安全审查的，可向商务部提出进行并购安全审查的建议，并提交有关情况的说明（包括并购交易基本情况、对国家安全的具体影响等）。属于并购安全审查范围的，商务部应在5个工作日内将建议提交联席会议。联席会议认为确有必要进行并购安全审查的，商务部根据联席会议决定，要求外国投资者按本规定提交并购安全审查申请。
九、外国投资者并购境内企业申请未被提交联席会议审查，或联席会议审查认为不影响国家安全的，若此后因调整并购交易、修改有关协议或文件等因素，导致该并购交易属
于《国务院办公厅关于建立外国投资者并购境内企业安全审查制度的通知》明确的并购安全审查范围的，当事人应当停止交易，由外国投资者按照本规定向商务部提交并购安全审查申请。
十、本规定未尽事宜，按照《国务院办公厅关于建立外国投资者并购境内企业安全审查制度的通知》执行。
十一、本规定自2011年3月5日起实施，有效期至2011年8月31日。
