BEIJING, Dec. 30 -- China's central leadership for reform has said boosting the quality of reforms must be of prime concern in the coming 2015.

"Speed must follow quality. Detailed implementation plans must be issued as soon as possible to ensure structural reform measures do not face any obstacles," said a statement released Tuesday after the eighth meeting of the Leading Group for Overall Reform.

Underscoring the need for meticulous research into reform measures, the statement said the implementation of major reform plans must be supervised and any problems identified as early as possible.

In addition, the meeting acknowledged that more effort should be made to collect grassroots opinions.

According to the statement, 80 key reform tasks identified for 2014 had been "basically finished" in addition to the completion of 108 reform missions assigned to various central departments.

"Some of these tasks concerned top-level structural reform that would guide a specific field or involved multiple organs and fields. While others had been in the pipeline for years, but were hard nuts to crack, or were trail-blazing pilot programs," it said.

The meeting approved a report summarizing the progress of reform in 2014, the highlights of the Leading Group on Overall Reform's agenda in 2015, and major works to be done in 2015 to implement major decisions reached at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee.

The session, which was held in October, outlined a new blueprint on rule of law that mandated sweeping judical reforms while hailing the overarching role the Constitution plays in legal system.

Chinese President and General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping, who is also head of the group, presided over the meeting.
