The Ministry of Commerce responded to the EU’s proposal to impose temporary anti-dumping duties on biodiesel imported from China.

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 25th (Reporter Tang Ningning, Xie Xiyao) He Yong, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, said on July 25th that China had noticed that the European Commission released the preliminary findings of its anti-dumping investigation on biodiesel in China on July 19th, and proposed to impose provisional anti-dumping duties on biodiesel imported from China. China is highly concerned about the protectionist actions of the European side in the biodiesel industry.

  Recently, the European Commission announced that it would impose a temporary anti-dumping duty of 12.8% to 36.4% on biodiesel imported from China. In this regard, He Yongqian responded at the regular press conference of the Ministry of Commerce held on the 25th that China has always advocated the rational and prudent use of trade remedy measures, and urged the European side not to rashly adopt trade protectionist measures and resolve mutual concerns with China through dialogue and consultation.

  "The EU is the world’s largest consumer of biodiesel. The import of biodiesel from China is to meet the huge consumer demand in the EU market and accelerate the realization of its own green transformation and energy conservation and emission reduction goals." He Yongqian said that China has repeatedly stressed that European taxation measures will only raise the cost of related products, harm the interests of related industries and consumers in the EU, and undermine the EU’s green transformation process and the overall situation of China-EU economic and trade cooperation.

Central environmental protection inspector: there are some problems in Sichuan, such as superficial rectification and pretend rectification.

  BEIJING, May 9 (Xinhua) According to the official WeChat news of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Fifth Central Ecological Environmental Protection Inspector Group today gave feedback to Sichuan Province on "looking back" and special inspections. The inspector pointed out that the inspector’s rectification work in Sichuan Province has made important progress and achieved results, but at the same time, there is still a gap in ideological understanding and implementation in some localities and departments. Some rectifications have not achieved the expected results, and there are even problems such as perfunctory rectification, superficial rectification and pretend rectification.

  From November 3 to December 3, 2018, the Fifth Central Ecological Environmental Protection Inspector Group (hereinafter referred to as the Inspector Group) carried out a "review" on the rectification of the first round of central environmental protection inspectors in Sichuan Province, and arranged special inspectors for the prevention and control of water pollution in the Tuojiang River Basin, and formed inspector opinions.

  Sichuan province attaches great importance to this "looking back" work, supervising and reforming at the same time, and establishing reforms to promote the solution of ecological and environmental problems around a large number of people. As of March 2019, the problem of mass reporting assigned by the inspector group has been basically settled, of which 1956 were ordered to be rectified; 716 cases were filed for punishment and a fine of 13.5 million yuan was imposed; 13 cases were filed for investigation and 8 people were detained; 219 people were interviewed and 249 people were held accountable.

  The inspector pointed out that although important progress has been made in the rectification work of inspectors in Sichuan Province, there is still a gap in ideological understanding and implementation in some localities and departments. Some rectifications have not achieved the expected results, and there are even problems such as perfunctory rectification, superficial rectification and pretend rectification.

  First, the ideological understanding of some localities and departments is still not in place.

  Some localities and departments have a low political position, lack understanding and attention to the importance and urgency of ecological environmental protection, especially the construction of ecological barriers in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, do not have high requirements for inspectors’ rectification work, do not grasp it tightly, and some rectification tasks are lagging behind. Some problems reported by the masses assigned by the inspector group have not been investigated and dealt with effectively, and some outstanding ecological environmental problems have not been effectively solved. Neijiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have not paid enough attention to environmental infrastructure construction, such as serious lag and low quality. The second sewage treatment plant in the city and the second sewage treatment plant in Weiyuan County have not been completed and put into operation on schedule, and there has been no obvious progress in the treatment of 11 black and odorous water bodies. From January to October, 2018, the water quality of 14 of the 24 monitoring sections in Tuojiang River Basin in the city failed to meet the standard, and the water quality from Luojiaba section of Weiyuan River to Shatankou section decreased from Grade III to Grade V..

  Mianyang City and Anzhou District were scheduled to digest all the phosphogypsum stored in history before the end of 2018, and the actual reduction was less than 20%. At present, about 2.1 million tons are still stored. The "three prevention" measures in the yard are not in place, and leachate and washing wastewater are discharged directly without treatment. Yellow phosphorus enterprises such as Tianming Phosphorus Chemical and Qixing Phosphorus Chemical in Anzhou District have been illegally producing for a long time, and the pollution is very serious. The rectification task of "balance between production and use" of phosphogypsum in Mianzhu City was not completed on schedule. In the new industrial park, enterprises such as Longman Phosphorus Chemical and Sanjia Feed illegally treated production wastewater and illegally discharged phosphogypsum leachate. The maximum total phosphorus concentration in groundwater around the phosphogypsum yard exceeded the Class III standard of surface water by 569 times.

  Some localities and departments discounted and made flexibility during the rectification process to reduce the rectification requirements. Panzhihua city canceled the clear task of the rectification plan without authorization, lacked the phased goal for the rectification of the sewage treatment plants that were not operating normally, failed to specify the specific time limit for the construction of sewage treatment facilities in the city as required, and even relaxed the rectification time limit for the illegal production activities of limestone mines in the nature reserve of Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group without authorization, resulting in serious ecological damage.

  In some places, people’s environmental reports are not paid enough attention, and they are not urged at the top, and they are not handled seriously and thoroughly at the bottom. The masses reflected the problem of illegal recycling of used batteries and storage batteries in the waste recycling market of Madao Dashanpo in Xichang City. Xichang City reported the completion of rectification to Liangshan Prefecture Government in November 2017 without implementing the rectification requirements, and Liangshan Prefecture reported the completion of rectification to the provincial government on the same day without verification. The Lotus Garbage Treatment Plant in Jiuhong Township, yantan district City, Zigong City has a serious environmental pollution problem. Zigong City reported that the rectification was completed in August 2018. However, this inspector found that the treatment plant still accumulated about 45,000 cubic meters of landfill leachate, and some leachate was disposed in violation of regulations, resulting in the pollution of surrounding groundwater and Tuojiang River.

  Second, the implementation of the responsibility for rectification is not effective.

  The responsibilities of Panzhihua inspector’s rectification implementation plan and departmental responsibility division document overlap, and the boundary is unclear, which leads to the departments of housing construction, water affairs and urban management buck passing. Of the 25 sewage treatment projects that should be completed in 2018, 18 have not started by the time of "looking back". The management committee of Guang ‘an Economic Development Zone and Qianfeng District Government shirked their responsibilities in the maintenance and management of the pipe network between Daishi Town and the sewage treatment plant in the park, and the problem of pipe network damage has not been solved for a long time.

  The Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development has failed to promote the work. Some cities (states) have the idea of "waiting for what is needed" and even relaxed the rectification requirements without authorization. Of the 544 urban and rural domestic sewage treatment projects that should be completed in 2018, 190 have not yet started by the time of "looking back"; Although 160 projects have started, they cannot be completed and put into operation on schedule. Of the 88 sewage treatment plants that were not operating normally pointed out by the first round of inspectors, 27 were still not rectified. The water conservancy department failed to promote the implementation. Only 140 of the 971 small hydropower stations that have completed the ecological discharge measures in the province have installed online monitoring facilities as required, and most of them are not connected to the management department, so it is impossible to effectively monitor the discharged ecological flow.

  Neijiang City failed to deduct points from Weiyuan County, where the first round of inspectors was handed over to accountability, in the assessment of environmental protection objectives of the party and government in 2017. Dongxing District of the city ranked last in the assessment of environmental protection objectives in 2017, and was interviewed by Neijiang Municipal Committee, but the annual assessment of the top leaders of the "four major teams" was excellent.

  Third, the problem of perfunctory rectification still exists.

  Some localities and departments have failed to grasp the work closely, made insufficient efforts, and even had luck, which made it difficult for relevant rectification measures to land. Baodinggou, Caopo, Wolong and other national or provincial nature reserves have not been rectified in place as required, and the forestry departments of relevant cities (states) and counties are not honest in their work and the audit is not strict, and the provincial forestry departments are not effective in supervising and guiding them. Seventeen catering barges in the core area and buffer area of Yibin National Nature Reserve for Rare and Endemic Fish in the Yangtze River were not banned according to law, and five were in operation at the time of on-site inspection.

  Of the 192 domestic waste treatment projects in the province that should be completed in 2018, 77 have not yet started as of "looking back". Of the 18 domestic waste treatment projects that Aba Prefecture should complete in 2018, 15 have not yet started as of "looking back"; Leachate from six landfill sites, such as Dongba Town, nanbu county City, Nanchong City and Yuanba Town, Nanjiang County, Bazhong City, was not treated properly, causing pollution to surrounding groundwater and farmland; In addition, although the informal landfill sites in Nanmu, Fuhu and Jianxing towns of nanbu county, Nanchong City have been closed, the stored garbage has not been removed, and the pollution hazard is obvious.

  Fourth, surface rectification and pretend rectification have occurred from time to time.

  Provincial Economic Information Commission perfunctory response in the clean-up and rectification of "scattered pollution" enterprises, lax and untrue, replaced inspection with scheduling, neither strengthened guidance nor carried out assessment, and the clean-up and rectification work of "scattered pollution" enterprises in the province was ineffective. At the same time, due to the poor progress of rectification work, 7 of the 14 provincial industrial park sewage treatment plants that should be completed and put into operation in 2018 are difficult to be completed and put into operation on schedule; Sewage treatment facilities in 25 city (county) industrial parks could not be completed and put into operation on schedule.

  It was not until November 2018 that Chengdu High-tech Zone made clear the requirements for pollution control and rectification of Tuojiang River. As of "looking back", the water quality standard scheme of Jiangxi River Basin has not yet been issued, and the dredging work of 480,000 cubic meters of Jiangxi River tributaries has not yet been carried out; 18 sewage treatment facilities in 12 townships (towns) were not built as required. Sancha town even adopted the method of installing steel wire frame in the sewage ditch to fill gravel filtration to treat sewage, which was superficial and had no practical effect. Due to the superficial remediation work, the water quality of Jiangxi River deteriorated from Class III in 2016 to Class IV in 2018, and even appeared worse than Class V in April 2018.

  Luzhou City has been slow in promoting water environment improvement in key river basins such as the main stream of the Yangtze River and Tuojiang River. The sewage treatment plants in the south and east of the city have insufficient treatment capacity, and the construction of pipe network is lagging behind. A large amount of sewage in the main city is directly discharged into the environment. The sewage treatment capacity of the sewage treatment station in Luohan Brewing Base of LU ZHOU LAO JIAO CO.,LTD Co., Ltd. is insufficient, the sewage leaks and the sludge disposal is not standardized; Luzhou Guocui Distillery smuggled the production wastewater into the Yangtze River through the rainwater pipe network. The remediation of sewage outlets entering the river in ziyang is a mere formality. Twenty-one sewage outlets in Yanjiang section of Jiuqu River and 84 sewage outlets in Ziyang section of Yanghua River are not connected to the sewage interception pipeline, and the sewage is directly discharged into Tuojiang River.

  Liangshan Prefecture adjusted the 2.35 km landscape road illegally built in the core area and buffer area of Lugu Lake Wetland Nature Reserve for monitoring and popularization of science, but it could not prevent tourists from entering, and the rectification was nominal. The Wangfufu Ruins Museum and two tourist docks, which were illegally built in the core area, were not included in the scope of rectification, and were still in operation at the time of inspection. The work of Yanyuan County Government in Liangshan Prefecture was untrue, and the rectification was completed in May 2018. In August 2018, the State Forestry Bureau also submitted the rectification and sales information to the Provincial Forestry Department, which was fraudulent.

  Special inspectors found that in recent years, Sichuan Province has intensified its efforts to rectify the water environment problems in Tuojiang River, and achieved initial results. However, the structural and layout pollution problems in Tuojiang River Basin are still outstanding, and the situation is not optimistic.

  Management of environmental infrastructure construction is not in place. Twenty-six sewage treatment plant projects and 12 sewage pipe network projects in the Ziyang section of Jiuqu River and Yanghua River, as well as six sewage treatment plants in Xindu District of Chengdu, could not be completed on schedule. Of the 28 municipal and county domestic sewage treatment plants currently operating in Tuojiang River Basin, 4 are not operating normally, and 19 supporting pipe networks have not realized rain and sewage diversion. The Sanxingdui Sewage Treatment Plant in Guanghan City, Deyang City, due to reasons such as inadequate pipe network construction, damage and mixed flow of rain and sewage, the average influent concentration of chemical oxygen demand in August 2018 was only 46.9 mg/L; The design scale of shifang city Sewage Treatment Plant is 30,000 tons/day. Due to incomplete rainwater and sewage diversion, a large amount of rainwater and river water are mixed into the pipe network, and the operating load exceeds the design capacity by about 50% for a long time.

  Agricultural and rural pollution is still serious. In Tuojiang River basin, the average amount of chemical fertilizer per mu is 16.5 kg, the average amount of pesticide per mu is 0.35 kg, and the utilization rate of pesticide and chemical fertilizer is only about 30%, which leads to the prominent problem of non-point source pollution and the general situation of total phosphorus exceeding the standard. Eight large-scale livestock and poultry farms (communities), such as Shipan Research Institute of the Provincial Animal Science Research Institute in jianyang city, Chengdu, have not completed the relocation work on schedule, and the aquaculture wastewater in Wen ‘an Breeding Community in Dongxing District of Neijiang City has been directly discharged.

  The remediation of black and odorous water bodies is not enough. There are 24 black and odorous water bodies in the built-up areas of cities at the prefecture level and above in the Tuojiang River Basin. As of October 2018, 13 of them have just started, and the remediation work is obviously lagging behind. January & mdash; 2018; In October, the three assessment sections of Qiuxi Estuary, Xingfu Village and Gongchengpu Ferry of Tuojiang River failed to meet the assessment objectives, and the average concentration of chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen in the national control section of Weiyuan River Liao Jia weir increased instead of falling.

  The inspector demanded that the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government should correctly handle the relationship between economic development and ecological environmental protection and resolutely shoulder the political responsibility of ecological civilization construction and ecological environmental protection. We must hold our ground, consolidate our achievements, make overall plans to promote water environmental protection, continue to pay close attention to the prevention and control of water pollution in the main stream of the Yangtze River and important tributaries such as Tuojiang River and Minjiang River, accelerate the construction of domestic sewage treatment facilities in urban and rural areas, and focus on solving the problems of inadequate pipe network and poor operation and management. It is necessary to seriously investigate the responsibility according to discipline and law, and instruct the relevant departments to further investigate and clarify the responsibility for dereliction of duty, and to be serious, accurate and effective in accordance with relevant regulations.
