for Complaints, also provide methods for handling 强å??§è???§£???è§£å?è®??è¿?????äº?§£?³é???

the provisions added in Measures for Complaints state ??»¶å±¥è????é¢???
that the agencies for handling complaints can promote
an understanding (including a settlement agreement)
between the complainant and the complained person,
which is binding on the complainant and the com-
plained person17. If the complainant fails to fulfill the
effective settlement agreement, he will be pursued for
responsibility pursuant to law18. The agencies for han-
dling complaints does not have mandatory power over
the person that is the object of the complaint. There-
fore, they cannot enforce the settlement. The settle-
ment agreement helps resolve the problems caused by
non-performance or delay of performance by some of
the complainants after they have obtained the com-
plainant?? understanding.
