Chinanews.com.cn, April 28th. Cao Liping, Director of the Ecological Enforcement Bureau, introduced on the 28th that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, ecological and environmental law enforcement continued to maintain a high-pressure situation. A total of 833,000 environmental administrative penalties were implemented nationwide, with a fine of 53.61 billion yuan. Compared with the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the increase was 1.4 times and 3.1 times.
There were 147,000 cases in which the supporting measures of the new "Environmental Protection Law" were applied nationwide, which effectively deterred environmental violations and crimes.
On February 22, the Third Brigade of the Ecological Enforcement Division of the Beijing Fangshan Environmental Protection Bureau inspected the Auto Sales Service Co., Ltd. under its jurisdiction and confirmed that the company has implemented the orange warning plan for heavy air pollution and the spray paint booth has been deactivated.

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment held a regular press conference on the 28th.
At the meeting, a reporter asked: Recently, the second round of the third batch of central environmental protection inspections has exposed many typical cases, and many environmental problems have been long-standing problems for many years.
Why are these problems not discovered and resolved in local daily environmental law enforcement? In which areas will the supervision of ecological environment law enforcement be strengthened this year, and what measures and measures will be adopted to punish related environmental violations?
Cao Liping responded that the purpose of law enforcement is to investigate and punish environmental violations, and environmental violations exist objectively at this stage.
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the ecological environment law enforcement continued to maintain a high pressure. A total of 833,000 environmental administrative penalties were implemented nationwide, with a fine of 53.61 billion yuan, an increase of 1.4 times and 3.1 times respectively over the period of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan".
There were 147,000 cases in which the supporting measures of the new "Environmental Protection Law" were applied nationwide, which effectively deterred environmental violations and crimes.
Although the ecological environment law enforcement work has made positive progress and results, it must be noted that our understanding of the in-depth fight against pollution is not adequate, the law enforcement system and mechanism are not sound enough, law enforcement methods are not optimized enough, and law enforcement capabilities and mission requirements are not yet in place. Insufficient matching, the ability to find problems needs to be improved.
Cao Liping pointed out that this year is the first year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", and it is essential to do a good job of environmental law enforcement for in-depth fight for pollution prevention and control, and to promote ecological and environmental protection work to make a good start.
Cao Liping said that the "three persistences" are to adhere to the main tone of strictness, adhere to law enforcement for the people, and adhere to problem orientation.
The "Three Focuses" are to focus on outstanding issues that affect people's environmental rights and environmental quality, focus on key areas in the fight against pollution, and focus on key industries where environmental problems occur frequently.
Specifically, four special law enforcement activities should be organized at the national level:
The first is to cooperate with the Ministry of Public Security and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate to launch a special project on environmental violations of hazardous waste, focusing on cracking down on illegal discharge, dumping, and disposal of hazardous waste across administrative regions. Severely crack down on environmental crimes such as tampering and falsifying automatic monitoring data; the third is to carry out air pollution prevention and control supervision and assistance, to carry out professional supervision for industries with prominent problems, and to provide motorized assistance for areas with serious problems; the fourth is to develop nature reserves The special project is the "Green Shield" operation.
Cao Liping added that in order to implement various requirements, five main measures have been taken:
The first is to optimize supervision and assistance to ensure the effectiveness of tackling tough problems.
In accordance with the requirements of "five precisions", the organizational form will be optimized, and the work mode of combining "key special assistance + remote supervision and assistance" will be innovatively implemented.
It is necessary to continue to adhere to the main tone of assistance. All localities must take full advantage of the cross-check, supervision and assistance methods to address outstanding regional, river basin, and industrial ecological and environmental issues, and coordinate the deployment of elite forces in the region to break local protection and ensure law enforcement. Action effect.
The second is to strengthen judicial linkage and severely punish pollution crimes.
We will further strengthen coordination with public security, procuratorial, judicial and other departments, establish and improve a joint meeting system, continue to organize cross-departmental joint business training, strengthen the "two laws", and effectively form a joint force for enforcement of severe penalties and heavy penalties.
For cross-regional and cross-basin environmental pollution cases, the Ministry of Public Security and the Supreme People's Procuratorate will conduct joint listing supervision and joint on-site supervision to ensure the investigation and handling of the cases are in place.
The third is to optimize law enforcement methods and improve law enforcement efficiency.
The No. 1 document issued by the Ministry this year, "Guiding Opinions on Optimizing Eco-Environmental Law Enforcement Methods and Improving Law Enforcement Effectiveness", put forward 18 systems and measures.
Improve problem discovery capabilities by deepening "double randomness and one disclosure", strengthening off-site supervision, improving the reporting and reward system, and exploring third-party assisted law enforcement; by establishing a special case investigation system, improving the discretionary power system, and improving the level of law enforcement services, etc. Enhance the ability to investigate and deal with problems; encourage more companies to improve their ability to comply with the law by improving the positive list, strengthening law-abiding incentives, and carrying out education on the law popularization.
The fourth is to innovate law enforcement methods and enhance law enforcement capabilities.
We will actively explore the application of new technologies in ecological environment law enforcement, and continue to innovate and improve law enforcement capabilities.
Research and implement power consumption monitoring, video monitoring and key working condition parameter monitoring, and expand the scope of supervision to the entire process of enterprise production, governance and emissions; deepen the implementation of the "clairvoyance" plan, and increase real-time monitoring of the microenvironment surrounding industrial parks and enterprise clusters Monitoring efforts, strengthening the ability to accurately trace the source of air pollution and remote monitoring of key pollution sources; actively promote the construction and use of mobile law enforcement, and realize the process-based, networked, and intelligent operation of environmental law enforcement.
The fifth is to deepen system reforms and strengthen team building.
We will conscientiously complete the "second half of the article" on vertical management and comprehensive law enforcement reform, and on the basis of promoting the completion of organizational system adjustments and operating in accordance with the new system in various regions, ensure that operating mechanisms, capacity building, and legal protection are fully in place to achieve "true vertical "Tuning" and "True Synthesis".
Continue to keep a close eye on major issues that need to be further improved in the reform process, such as monitoring coordination of law enforcement and county-level law enforcement powers, and promptly promote their solutions.
Combining the relevant requirements of the reform, comprehensively promote the implementation of institutional standardization, equipment modernization, team professionalization, and management institutionalization, continue to strengthen team building, and create a veritable main force of the ecological and environmental protection iron army.
