Just as Luo Weicheng thought, the meeting only lasted fifteen minutes, and the city hall auditorium was already filled with excitement!

Strictly speaking, the vast majority of companies that came to participate in this meeting have not been officially recognized by the country, that is, they are illegal small and medium-sized steel companies. So when Ling Haozhong announced that the city will officially launch a city-wide

Self-inspection and self-inspection of the steel industry.

The Tangshan City Government will continue to strongly support the construction of projects that have been officially approved by various ministries and commissions in Beijing; any construction projects that are undergoing land leveling, land acquisition and demolition, equipment ordering and preliminary work without formal approval from relevant departments must be resolutely stopped.

Down; projects under construction that have not been formally approved, but comply with Document No. 103 issued by relevant national departments at the beginning of this year, and meet the technical conditions for steel industry access and industry planning, will be reported by the municipal investment department to the provincial investment department.

The investment authorities will put forward handling opinions and then submit them to the national investment authorities for approval; projects under construction that do not meet the requirements must be stopped and strictly rectified! That's all. In this meeting, the people invited are basically those who have been officially put into production.

Although there are some operating companies launching new projects, they are in the minority after all.

But when Ling Haozhong announced that all steel companies in Tangshan City that had not been officially approved by the state must also conduct rectification and self-examination. For those low-level equipment that do not comply with the national industrial development policy, there are also those that do not meet the industrial policy access standards.

Production capacity must be rectified. And this is not all. All steel companies in Tangshan City must re-evaluate environmental protection. If the environmental protection standards cannot be met, production will be suspended for rectification. When will the standards be met, and when will production be allowed to resume?

!Moreover. From now on, the Tangshan City Environmental Protection Bureau will conduct random inspections of the production conditions of domestic steel companies from time to time. If pollution is found to exceed the standard, in addition to being punished in accordance with environmental protection laws and regulations, additional penalties will be imposed. For the first time, production will be completely suspended for seven days.

, the second suspension of production lasted for one month, and the third suspension of production for half a year. The fourth time will be reported to the relevant departments in the province and Beijing, requesting that the enterprise be shut down and transferred.

This decision shocked all business leaders present, including many people from government departments who attended the meeting!

In China, although as early as the 1970s, there was already an Environmental Protection Law. The 1982 Constitution even stipulated that the state has the responsibility to protect and improve the living environment and ecological environment, and prevent pollution and other public hazards.

, and then successively promulgated laws on water pollution prevention and control, air pollution prevention and control, marine environmental protection, etc. Up to now, China has formulated ten environmental protection laws, eighteen resource protection laws, and twenty-seven administrative regulations, approved and signed

It has adopted more than 50 multilateral international environmental treaties such as the Convention on Biological Diversity. In addition, special chapters have been set up in the criminal law to stipulate crimes such as "crimes of damaging environmental resource protection". It can be said that the legal system is already quite complete.

However, in actual implementation, various problems have arisen, turning these environmental protection laws, regulations, and conventions into mere decorations.

In many provinces and cities in the country, many major polluters are actually the backbone of the local economy and employment. In order to increase local GDP, local governments naturally favor these companies, and the regulatory authorities in these places will punish them.

Show mercy'. Even turn a blind eye, and even help them cover up the fact of sewage discharge.

There are also many local governments that use one word to control environmental pollution - fines. As for whether the pollution discharge of these enterprises has been curbed after the fines are used, and where these fines have been used, the public has no way of knowing. Even,

The public doesn’t even know which companies have been punished for discharging pollutants!

Moreover, in China, there is still a strange phenomenon of "two highs and one low" in the rule of law on environmental protection, that is, the cost of law enforcement and compliance with the law is high, and the cost of breaking the law is low. The "low cost of breaking the law" will inevitably reduce the majesty and efficiency of the law, leading to repeated bans on illegal pollutants.

"The high cost of complying with the law" will inevitably weaken people's legal awareness and regard the law as dispensable. This makes domestic enterprises generally not pay attention to environmental protection investment, or even if they invest, it is greatly reduced.

Moreover, domestic laws and regulations were formulated in the 1970s and 1980s, and the penalties for corporate pollution lag far behind the needs of economic development and social life. Environmental protection departments in various places not only have small staffing, but also have low funding.

, and do not get corresponding strong cooperation from other departments, but are often hindered.

The environmental protection department must shut down enterprises that discharge illegal pollutants and must obtain approval from the local government. Not only is the procedure cumbersome, but it also requires people from all walks of life to greet them, and fines are required. The amount of the fine is very limited, and it requires the purchase and operation of environmental protection equipment.

Compared with the cost, it is completely heaven and earth. Therefore, some companies do not care about the fines at all. Some companies even directly use the money to pay all the fines for a year and ask the Environmental Protection Bureau staff to stop annoying them.

.

This makes companies that abide by laws and regulations suffer economically, while illegal companies that do not bear the cost of pollution prevention and control take advantage of the economy. In Tangshan City, a similar situation also exists. Not only steel companies, but also other companies

This situation exists. Except for Luo Weicheng, no one present could have imagined that Ling Haozhong would have the courage to enforce the environmental protection law in Tangshan City's steel industry.

At this time, not only the small and medium-sized steel companies that were "black households" could not sit still, but also those of Tangfeng Steel Company, Jindong Steel Company, Banbihe Steel Company, Tingsong Steel Company, and Tangshan Jianlong Steel Company.

The representatives could not sit still, but they did not notice the calm expressions of the representatives from Huasheng Longxing Steel Company and Xingrui Steel Company.

Some representatives added additional penalties to what Ling Haozhong said - "The first comprehensive suspension of production is seven days, the second suspension is one month, the third suspension is half a year, and the fourth time will be reported to the relevant departments in the province and Beijing to request the closure and transfer of the enterprise.

", said it was a bit too strict, and believed that according to China's environmental protection laws and regulations, there is no such provision. However, Ling Haozhong said that the Olympic Games were about to be held. In order to ensure the blue sky of the capital, Tangshan City, as a close neighbor of the capital, must lead by example.

In order to support the Olympic Games, the city was ready to apply to the province and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, but was blocked in one sentence.

Those of you here also know that the 2008 Olympic Games are about to be held, and many foreign media are talking about domestic air pollution and water pollution. The media in some countries even called for a boycott of this Olympic Games, thinking that the Olympic Games will be held soon.

Holding such large-scale competitions in China is harmful to the health of the athletes. And it is said that the central government is indeed interested in rectifying domestic pollution. Thinking about the precedent of the Asian Games held in Beijing, they are completely convinced that the province will

Although Li may not necessarily agree with Tangshan City’s approach, the Beijing government and the Ministry of Environmental Protection definitely welcome it with both hands.

Domestic local governments have always taken one step forward and two steps back when it comes to environmental protection issues. In order to ensure the development of local GDP, some places even do not hesitate to act as a protective umbrella for these big polluters. Tangshan is a heavy industrial city, and the steel industry belongs to Tangshan.

The pillar industry can be said to be the largest source of pollution in Tangshan City. And Tangshan City is very close to Beijing and Jincheng. It can be said that the pollution emissions of Tangshan City have a decisive role in the environment of these two municipalities. It is also important.

effect!

Seeing that the Olympic Games are about to be held, the pollution problem in the two major cities has still not improved significantly. Domestic public opinion is also paying more and more attention to environmental protection. It is impossible to say that the two municipal governments and the Ministry of Environmental Protection are not anxious about it.

! If the Tangshan City Government takes the initiative and is willing to rectify the city’s steel industry pollution problem, this will be a pie-in-the-sky thing for the two cities and the Ministry of Environmental Protection! If they don’t vigorously promote this application

If you pass, then you are a fool.

It does not affect the development of one's own GDP, but it can effectively improve the local environment. The Ministry of Environmental Protection has also achieved political achievements. What a good thing.

But these people present don’t understand what Ling Haozhong is doing? Doing this without strong requirements from the country is tantamount to abolishing martial arts! After these decisions, if they are really implemented seriously, the people of Tangshan City will

The production capacity of the steel industry will be reduced by almost one-third or even more! Even for those companies that have not closed down, the cost of the steel products they produce will increase significantly! Although today's steel market is still relatively hot, the profit margin is not low.

, but how to compete with steel companies in other parts of the country in the future?

Many people turned their attention to Mayor Li Huafeng, who was also sitting on the stage, but what surprised them was that Li Huafeng actually sang praises for Ling Haozhong's decision! Many people present were disappointed and did not understand these two people at all.

Did they take the wrong medicine? Could it be that they don’t understand that as a result, Tangshan City’s economy will suffer a severe setback?

Many people have turned their attention to Luo Weicheng. As a large state-owned enterprise whose production capacity accounts for nearly half of Tangshan City's steel output, although there is a gap between Luo Weicheng's administrative level and Ling Haozhong, the difference is not very far. As a steel company in Tangshan City,

Leader, at this moment, it is time for him to stand up and fight for the interests of himself and his brother companies!

But what they didn't expect was that although Luo Weicheng stood up and spoke, what he said was that Tangshan Iron and Steel Group Company firmly supported the decision of the municipal party committee and government, and representatives from Huasheng Longxing Iron and Steel Company and Xingrui Iron and Steel Company

He actually responded!
