Rural collective economic organizations and villagers'committees are two types of special legal persons clearly distinguished from each other as stipulated in the Civil Code.However,after the introduction of the Law on Rural Collective Economic Organizations,the Law on the Organization of the Villagers'Committees should be amended accordingly by deleting the contents related to the economic functions of the villagers'committees.Rural collective economic organizations are fundamentally different from other rural cooperative economic organizations,such as corporations,farmers'professional cooperatives and supply and marketing cooperatives,and it is not appropriate to include these rural cooperative economic organizations in the scope of adjustment of the Rural Collective Economic Organizations Law.On the basis of the pluralistic and unified relationship between the farmers'collectives and the rural collective economic organizations,the rural collective economic organizations are merely representatives of the exercise of collective property ownership,and the collective property is still owned collectively by the members of the collective.This establishes the legislative basis and fundamental orientation of the Law on Rural Collective Economic Organizations.Collective membership is not the same as membership in a rural collective economic organization,and there are differences in the criteria for determining eligibility and the content of membership rights.Collective membership is determined by the elements of household registration or residence,while membership in rural collective economic organizations is determined by the elements of household registration,rights and obligations,and basic livelihood security at the same time.
