Constantly correcting "waste on the tip of the tongue"

　　In recent years, General Secretary Xi Jinping has repeatedly issued important instructions to stop food waste.

The Second Plenary Session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection made arrangements to correct "waste on the tip of the tongue".

Embarking on a new journey, we must keep in mind the "three musts", put the problem of food and beverage waste in a more prominent position, make unremitting efforts, comprehensively implement policies, lead the society and the people with a good party style, and promote the formation of strict economy and opposition to waste in the whole society. good fashion.

　　Catering waste seems to be a trivial matter, but it is actually related to the overall situation. It must be highly valued in thought and grasped in action.

"One porridge and one meal should be hard-won, and half a thread of constant memory is difficult." The problem of catering is not only personal consumption behavior, but also related to the overall situation of national food security.

Food waste in the catering sector should not be underestimated. Under the situation of rigid growth in food demand and tightening resource and environmental constraints in my country, stopping food waste increases "invisible fertile land" and is a powerful measure to ensure national food security.

The catering atmosphere is still a direct manifestation of a political party and a social atmosphere. If waste is allowed to breed and spread, it will seriously damage the image of the party and corrupt the social atmosphere. Inherit and carry forward the Party's fine style of work.

"Hongfan eight politics, food is the first".

We must stand in the overall situation of the party and the country to understand and grasp the problem of rectifying food waste, and take it as an important part of implementing the spirit of the eight central regulations, and firmly grasp it so that frugal dining becomes a common practice in the whole society.

　　To rectify catering waste, we must adhere to the problem orientation and make continuous efforts to eliminate weak links.

Thanks to the continuous efforts of various regions and departments, the problems of eating, drinking, and squandering of public funds have been effectively curbed, and the good atmosphere of shameful waste and glorious saving in the whole society has continued to grow, and positive results have been achieved in the rectification work.

However, there are still some outstanding problems. The ideological foundation of some party members and cadres to practice strict economy is not solid, and the behavioral inertia has not been completely reversed. Problems such as exceeding the standard for official events, falsely listed expenses, and taking public funds to eat and drink have occurred from time to time. Food and beverage waste in funerals, weddings, banquets, etc. is more prominent. Some localities and departments have "a gust of wind" to rectify food and beverage waste. Supervision and law enforcement work needs to be strengthened.

In this regard, we must remain sober and firm, increase our efforts, closely cooperate with the discipline inspection and supervision agencies and functional departments, and work together to rectify the problem of food waste.

Pay close attention to party members, cadres and public officials, pay close attention to meals for official activities, party and government agencies, and canteens of state-owned enterprises and institutions, strengthen supervision and inspection, and seriously correct the problem of wasting food and beverages with public funds to form a strong deterrent.

It is necessary to strengthen supervision with strong supervision, promote functional departments to fulfill their responsibilities, strictly manage their jurisdiction, continuously improve the policy toolbox, innovate supervision methods, increase law enforcement and exposure, and thoroughly control the problem of food waste.

　　Rectifying the problem of catering waste is by no means a one-time effort. It must be corrected simultaneously and for a long time.

While solving outstanding problems, we must focus on cracking down on ideological roots and institutional mechanisms, grasping habits, and turning customs into customs.

We must vigorously promote the style of diligence and thrift.

Starting from party members and cadres, strengthen the education of party spirit, party style and party discipline, and promote the exemplary practice of "CD-ROM Action". Whether it is dining at official events, or organizing weddings and funerals, daily dinners, and personal consumption, we will consciously oppose waste and continue to Cultivate the habit of saving.

Based on the responsibility to change customs, promote the concept of civilized catering into restaurants, communities, work units, campuses, and families, and vigorously break down unhealthy habits such as ostentatious, ostentatious, and face-saving, so that frugal dining has become the consensus and action of the whole society.

It is necessary to improve the long-term mechanism against meal waste.

Promote all regions and departments to proceed from the actual situation, and further reflect the requirements for rectifying the waste of public funds in catering to official receptions, investment invitation receptions, state-owned enterprise business receptions, unit cafeteria meals, etc., and clarify and refine relevant regulations.

Promote the improvement of anti-waste policy regulations, standard systems, reward and punishment mechanisms, etc. in the catering industry, provide operational policy basis for the implementation of market entities and regulatory agencies, and continuously transform institutional achievements into governance effectiveness.

　　The Spring Festival is an important festival for reunion gatherings, and it is also a node where food waste is easy to breed.

As the festive season is approaching, it is necessary to take targeted measures to rectify the problem of catering waste, encourage leading cadres at all levels to take the lead in practicing economy, drive the whole society to stop extravagance and waste, and strive to create a good atmosphere so that the fireworks of the festival are full of civilization and frugality.
