National lawmakers on Wednesday started to deliberate draft general provisions of civil law, which, if adopted, will bring the country one step closer to a long-absent civil code.

全国人大代表8日开始审议民法总则草案，该草案如果通过，我国将离长期缺席的民法典又近了一步。

After the adoption of the general provisions, lawmakers will step up work on compiling individual books on property, contract and marriage, among others, which will be integrated into a unified code.

民法总则出台以后，全国人大将加紧财产、合同、婚姻等民事单行法律，之后汇编成为统一的民法典。

全国人大常委会委员长张德江在关于全国人民代表大会常务委员会的工作报告指出，民法总则(the general provisions of civil law)规定民法的基本原则(basic principles)和一般规则(general rules)，在民法典(civil code)中起统率性、纲领性作用。

此前，民法总则草案已经先后3次提请审议，并通过中国人大网向社会公开征求意见。此次审议如若通过，我国将朝着民法典的出台又迈进一步。
