Southern intern reporter Lvjing Lian Wei yu name has always been burdened with original sin, accused of the green paper industry output value is negative usher in a micro-Lan, the birthplace of the Ripples of Guizhou in the southwest. The country s first environmental public interest litigation before the official sentencing decision, Guiyang, China Environment Federation and the prosecution of public environmental education center set Wudang District of Guiyang, the long-term expense of paper mills to Guiyang, "Mother River" Nanming cause serious pollution of industrial waste water in favor of a case . "This is the first from the go to trial, and environmental organizations support the demands of the environment by the court in civil cases of public interest litigation." Has been concerned about the case, said Wang Jin, Peking University Law School professor, and behind this breakthrough is a series of gradual improvement of policies and regulations, but in the real implementation level, but still needs to be deepened.
Guizhou, the country s first environmental lawsuit settlements produce
Who would have thought, environmental organizations, environmental public interest litigation to achieve a zero breakthrough in Guizhou was born. Guiyang Nanming be prosecuted to the long-term fixed-Pa paper mill wastewater sentenced to immediately stop the infringement, China Environment Federation to pay legal fees spent 10,000 yuan, Guizhou, Hubei and Hunan by the Library Foundation to advance the quality of a test fee of 1,500 yuan and the case litigation costs 60 yuan. Wang Jin said that as the first complete environment for the domestic public interest litigation in civil cases, the people s court Qingzhen environmental court proceedings, evidence preservation, the advance execution, financing fees, try to identify the model provides a useful reference.
According to Law Center China Environment Federation Ma Yong, Minister of supervision proceedings, in 2005, after the Songhua River pollution accident, some experts call for pilot environmental public interest litigation in the country, that is not directly on behalf of stakeholders in public, on the polluter proceedings. However, according to report, the year after the Songhua River pollution, Wang Jin, once representative of the Songhua River, sturgeon fish and Sun Island, environment Heilongjiang Higher People s Court to file a civil suit in the Dan Youji compensation of the company, the court has not placed on file .
Since 2007, the Supreme Court trial has been set up in some local environmental courts, encouraging environmental public interest litigation, issued a document last year, clearly support the environmental protection department of environmental damage claims brought on behalf of the State proceedings, and the pilot is expected to accept the court system in the marine environmental protection department filed claims for state water pollution damages litigation. Submitted for consideration in September last year, "Beijing Water Pollution Control Ordinance" revised draft, also added the contents of the protection of victims of water pollution, according to the provisions of the environmental protection department to support the party damaged by water pollution lawsuit, if the victim financial difficulties can apply for legal aid support.
However, Wang Jin appears, regulations, although the improvement is a step by step, the real action still needs to be further implemented. Zijin Mining last year (601,899, stock it) and the serious pollution incident be punished by the local environmental protection department, the Chongqing environmental groups had a Ministry of Environmental Protection issued an administrative review of applications and proposals for local environmental protection department finds that the amount of damage is too small, punishment is too light, and not the person directly responsible shall be fined, required the ministry to re-investigate and recommend on behalf of the State Ministry of Environmental Protection a claim litigation. Unfortunately, in the end the end of 2010, Ministry of Environmental Protection to the local environmental protection department of the penalty decision and has no interest in the grounds of Chongqing environmental groups dismissed the application for administrative reconsideration.
"If the case of Guiyang can be replicated across the country, will play a major role in environmental protection." NGO workers have told this newspaper that the Green Man JAC Anhui Environmental Information Centre, Wuhu Ecological Centre of Friends of Nature, Public Environmental Research Center 24 environmental groups such as it was previously a joint letter to the world Chenming Paper 500, I hope its so far from 21 in 2004 notice or penalty to explain, and to pay pollution control action, but still could not get a reply .
Polluters urgent need to upgrade the paper industry
Since the second half of 2010, China s paper industry is quite calm welcome step development period. Following are 80 billion and 20 billion spent, layout Mountain, Quanzhou, Fujian and Hunan, the "Paper Queen" Zhang shot again, first in the northeast end of the 1.5 billion investment plan to build 300 million tons of integrated pulp and paper production base , also has a cost of 564 million purchase in Hebei Yongxin 78.13% stake. In addition, Nippon Paper Group N ipponPaper G roup35.5 billion acquisition of China s second largest paper company Lee & Man Paper 12% stake in the Finnish paper giant Stora Enso is 40.8 million euros per acquisition 51% stake in Hebei, Chengtong Group 2.5 billion fourth replenishment of the Tiger Forest & Paper, MCC swept northern China, Shandong plans to build the largest production base of packaging and specialty paper ... ... behind the big business of big moves, so environmentalists have natural deep worry.
Appears in the paper industry, although the base of these giants in size and quantity is bound to cause great impact on the local environment, but the greatest impact, or those big polluting emissions, resource use inadequate backward production capacity. Back in 2007, the NDRC issued the "Paper Industry Development Policy" will mean that China will optimize the layout of the paper industry, raw material structure and product structure, change the mode of growth, building with forestry and paper industry, the industry advanced equipment to produce clean, sustainable growth, circular economy, competitive and orderly modern paper-making industry. But today, out of backward production capacity, paper, non-wood fiber raw materials, quality management, pollution control, integrated pulp and paper how to obtain a win-win economic and social benefits and other issues, so that the industry is still entangled.
