随着近日油价上调，公众又关心起成品油价格机制改革，担心定价机制改革的时机是否已经错过了。现在看来，政府在成品油价格改革的态度上，还在“择机”。

With the recent oil price rises，The public and concerned about gas prices mechanism reform，Worry about pricing mechanism reform whether the time is had missed。Now it seems，The government in the prices of refined petroleum products in the attitudes of reform，Also in“the”。

　　的确，改革的时机很重要，因为它可以影响改革效果。但是，除了改革时机本身的争议性，等待改革时机是个很不确定的事件。对于成品油定价机制改革来说，最好的时机当然是石油价格低廉稳定的时候。现在看来，这个时候可能非常难等到，也很可能等不到了。

indeed，The timing of the reform is very important，Because it can affect reform effect。but，In addition to reform the controversial time itself，Wait for reform is a very uncertain time of the event。For product oil pricing mechanism for reform，The best time of course is low oil prices stable。Now it seems，This time can be very difficult to wait，Also likely wait not to come。

　　目前，我国成品油价格机制改革集中在四个基本要点:（1）原油价格参考地，（2）加权平均价格变动要求的天数，（3）加权平均价格变动要求的幅度，（4）由企业自行（宣布）调价和调价幅度。改革的关键点和最大亮点是由企业自行（宣布）调价和调价幅度，可以说，政府规定个规则，企业自行调整油价是朝市场化改革迈出关键性的一步。

At present，Our country product prices mechanism reform focus on four basic points:（1）Crude oil prices to reference，（2）The weighted average price change the number of days required，（3）The weighted average price change range of requirements，（4）By the enterprise to（announced）Refiners and pricing range。Reform of the key point and largest window is by the enterprise itself（announced）Refiners and pricing range，Can say，The government regulations a rules，The enterprise to adjust the oil prices is toward the market reform taking critical step。

　　现在看来，国际油价稳定的时代可能不复还了，今后我们面临的更可能是油价经常性的大幅度波动。成品油价格机制的“更快”“更及时”“调整幅度更大”特征，就是为了使成品油价格机制对短期油价波动更敏感，更加贴近市场供需。因此，改革之后的成品油价格更贴近市场，其“更快”“更及时”“调整幅度更大”的特征，对往下调或往上调同样有效。

Now it seems，The international oil prices stable era may be gone，In the future, we face is more likely the regular price wide fluctuations。Oil price mechanism“faster”“More in time”“Adjust the amplitude more”characteristics，In order to make the product oil price mechanism is for short-term fluctuations in oil prices more sensitive，More close to the market demand and supply。so，After the reform of prices of refined petroleum products more close to the market，the“faster”“More in time”“Adjust the amplitude more”features，To cut or to rise to as effective。

　　近期，受欧债危机影响，全球经济走势很差，石油需求也相对疲软，因此，石油价格无论涨还是跌，应该都是比较温和的。所以，有关部门需要抓住公众对调价的期待，以及国际油价比较温和的时机，坚决推出成品油定价机制改革方案。

recent，By the debt crisis，The global economic situation is very poor，Oil demand is relatively weak，so，Oil prices go up to still drop whatever，Should all are mild。so，The relevant departments must take to introduce public expectations，And the timing of the international oil prices is more moderate，Resolutely launch product oil pricing mechanism reform plan。
