□ Rule of Law Daily reporter Zhang Wei
With the full completion of the second round of accountability for the transfer of central eco-environmental protection inspectors, a large-scale and severe accountability result has also been made public: 158 accountability issues, 3,371 people were held accountable, of which 1,692 were punished by party discipline and government affairs, and the number of cadres at or above the division level reached 1,615.
"Strict accountability is the inherent requirement of eco-environmental protection inspectors, and it is also an effective means to promote the rectification of inspectors and solve ecological and environmental problems." The relevant person in charge of the eco-environmental protection inspector’s office said that, on the whole, the second round of accountability and accountability for inspector transfer issues focused on the main responsibility, supervision responsibility and leadership responsibility of leading cadres, which played a positive role in implementing the responsibility of the party and government for eco-environmental protection and promoting the rectification of inspectors.
Building a hotel on the river beach against the wind
A large number of officials were held accountable.
In Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, a group of officials such as Pan Zaoyun, the former deputy mayor of Zhenjiang City, were involved in this accountability storm.
According to the notification of the Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government, the reason why the above-mentioned personnel were held accountable was related to the ineffective promotion of the rectification of the Yangtze River coastline in Zhenjiang City and the outstanding ecological and environmental problems. Zhenjiang City has not included all the projects occupying rivers in violation of water law, river management regulations and other laws and regulations in the list of clean-up and rectification, and there is a problem of underreporting. Spot checks show that there are still 19 projects within the scope of river management in Zhenjiang section of the main stream of the Yangtze River that have not obtained the approval procedures for river-related construction projects, including 9 construction projects before the promulgation and implementation of the Water Law and 10 construction projects after the promulgation and implementation.
What is particularly noticeable is that the Xisha Bay Star Hotel, which was approved by the relevant departments of Yangzhong City in the name of water conservancy facilities, is located in the Yangtze River channel. Yangzhong City knew that the project was illegal, but it was still reported as a water conservancy facility when the superior investigated it.
Sadly, at the end of the special inspection on the protection and utilization of the coastline of the main stream of the Yangtze River, this hotel built on the beach of the Yangtze River was being upgraded in full swing. When the inspector group inspected the site, Xisha Bay Star Hotel was still in business, and the signpost of "Xisha Bay Star Hotel" was visible on the road.
Yangzhong City knows that the project is illegal, why did it still report it as a water conservancy facility when the superior investigated it? What is the origin of this hotel? These problems once attracted strong social concern and had a bad influence.
The problems in Zhenjiang don’t stop there. It is also mentioned in the circular that two enterprises, Dantu Anfeng Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. and Zhenxing Ocean Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., still have the problem of using construction waste and industrial solid waste to fill the river beach and erode the river surface after 2021. Jiangsu Fuxing Ship Building Co., Ltd. illegally occupied the new ship building and dismantling project along the Yangtze River coastline without approval, and the oily wastewater was discharged directly into the Yangtze River. Zhenjiang Huantai Silicon Technology Co., Ltd. illegally occupied 430 mu of beaches to build factories and production facilities. Jiangsu Yuanze Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. produces waste water to steal the Yangtze River & HELIP; …
All of the above are extremely incompatible with Zhenjiang’s key role in the ecological protection of the Yangtze River — — Zhenjiang City, located in the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, has a coastline of about 293 kilometers, involving aquatic germplasm conservation zone, provincial important wetlands and other ecologically sensitive areas, and has an important ecological position. What Zhenjiang’s relevant departments and districts (cities) have shown is that they don’t know enough about the importance of protecting and restoring the ecological environment of the Yangtze River, the work of cleaning up and rectifying illegal projects along the Yangtze River coastline is not in place, and the supervision and law enforcement work is weak.
Always adhere to a strict tone.
Compacting ecological and environmental responsibility
It is not uncommon for local party committees and government leading cadres like Zhenjiang to pay insufficient attention to ecological and environmental issues and for the relevant regulatory authorities to let enterprises violate the law for a long time.
For example, in Handan City, Hebei Province, there is chaos in the iron and steel industry’s de-capacity, and the industrial structure adjustment is not implemented effectively. Hebei Xinwan Iron and Steel Group Baking and Melting Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. illegally built a 1580 cubic meter blast furnace without completing the necessary procedures before the start of construction, such as filing, environmental assessment and rating.
Many sand and gravel yards in Seni District, Naqu City, Tibet did not apply for mining licenses as required, and forestry, grassland and water conservancy departments did not apply for grassland requisition and occupation, soil and water conservation and other procedures as required, allowing them to be illegally exploited for a long time, involving a total grassland area of 468,000 square meters.
Some comments hit the nail on the head: "These problems reflect that some places have not yet formed the ideological consciousness, political consciousness and action consciousness to promote the construction of ecological civilization, and it is still necessary to force local party committees, governments and relevant functional departments to assume the responsibility of ecological environmental protection through serious accountability."
Adhering to the strict tone and compacting the responsibility of ecological environmental protection is also one of the principles of the central ecological environmental protection inspector. "Strict tone is the lifeline of the inspector’s work, and it is the foundation for the inspector to maintain credibility and authority. The strict tone runs through the inspector from beginning to end, dare to bite hard bones, keep an eye on the problem, and resolutely investigate and deal with a number of major typical cases, forming a powerful shock. " Zhai Qing, Vice Minister of Ecology and Environment, said.
The strict tone can also be seen from the accountability of the second round of the transfer of central ecological environmental protection inspectors. Thirty-one provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps held 3,035 people accountable for the 135 accountability issues handed over by inspectors, including 371 cadres at the departmental level (including 93 cadres at the departmental level) and 1,244 cadres at the departmental level (including 594 cadres at the departmental level). Among them, 1,509 people were given disciplinary and administrative sanctions (involving 108 department-level cadres and 576 department-level cadres), 782 people were admonished (involving 108 department-level cadres and 377 department-level cadres), and 744 others were dealt with. The State Council State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) and six central enterprises held 336 people accountable for the 23 accountability issues handed over by inspectors, of which 183 were given disciplinary and administrative sanctions, 63 were admonished, and 90 were dealt with in other ways.
From this, it is not difficult to find that the accountability of the transfer problem presents obvious characteristics such as high level, great strength and wide coverage. Judging from the specific situation of accountability, those who are punished by party discipline and government affairs account for more than 50% of all accountable personnel. Judging from the composition of the accountable personnel, the number of cadres at or above the division level accounts for about 48% of all the accountable personnel. From the unit where the accountable personnel work, the personnel are distributed in local party committees, local governments, local party committees and government departments, state-owned enterprises, other relevant departments and institutions.
It can be seen that the second round of accountability for the transfer of inspectors pays attention to the main responsibility, supervision responsibility and leadership responsibility of leading cadres. This is not only an effective means to promote the rectification of inspectors and the solution of ecological and environmental problems, but also a powerful starting point to promote the implementation of "the party and government have the same responsibility and one post and two responsibilities".
Clearly point out outstanding problems
Promote the solution of environmental problems.
Accountability is not the purpose, but the purpose is to force the implementation of responsibility and promote problem solving.
In fact, adhering to the problem orientation and focusing on highlighting ecological and environmental issues is also one of the main practices of the central ecological and environmental protection inspectors. Always insist on facing the problem directly, heading for the problem and heading for the responsibility. "not only pay attention to the universal problems on the surface, but also focus on the outstanding shortcomings on the point; Not only focus on finding out the problem accurately, but also dig deep into the reasons and responsibilities behind the problem; It not only seriously points out problems, but also promotes the improvement of policy systems and long-term mechanisms by solving problems. " Zhai Qing said.
It is worth noting that in each batch of inspector’s reports, more than 60% of the reports are devoted to problems, which are not evaded or concealed. Combined with the reality of the inspected object and its strategic position in national economic development and ecological security, outstanding problems are clearly pointed out, and pressure is effectively transmitted to the inspected object.
In recent years, a series of problems have been solved in the accountability of the central eco-environmental protection inspector.
All 144 mining rights in Qilian Mountain National Nature Reserve in Gansu Province have been classified and withdrawn, and 42 hydropower stations have been classified and disposed of. The problems of vegetation destruction and grassland degradation have been alleviated, and the scenery of lush water plants and galloping horses has been gradually restored.
Illegal villas in Xi ‘an at the northern foot of Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi Province have been demolished and more than 3,700 mu of green plants have been restored, and many illegal plots have been transformed into park green spaces, basically completing ecological restoration and management.
In Muli mining area of Qinghai Province, the slag mountain was reshaped by brush slope and regreened by grass, and the mining pit was treated and backfilled to complete the main project of mine pit treatment.
Jilin banned illegal golf courses in Changbai Mountain, demolished 187 villas in 93 buildings, and completed ecological restoration by returning forests to green.
The rectification tasks in Qilihai in Tianjin, Fengshan in Guangxi, Jinyun Mountain in Chongqing, Kalamaili Mountain in Xinjiang and Tengger Desert have been completed in stages.
China Nonferrous Daye Company Fengshan Copper Mine Tailings Waste Water Directly Discharged into the Yangtze River is making solid progress.
Find problems, make reforms, complete rectification tasks with high quality, and compact responsibilities through accountability — — In this process, the rule of law also played an important role.
It is understood that the central eco-environmental protection inspectors pay attention to the inspection according to law, firmly establish the concept of the rule of law, apply the rule of law, strictly implement the "Regulations on the Work of Central Eco-environmental Protection Inspectors" and the "Measures for the Rectification of Central Eco-environmental Protection Inspectors", and formulate 110 system norms and template paradigms to make inspectors have rules to follow and ensure that the inspection results can stand the test of history and practice. At the same time, it is clearly forbidden to "impose uniformity on all enterprises" and abuse accountability, and local governments are required to seriously investigate and deal with simple and rude behaviors such as emergency shutdown and suspension of production, as well as perfunctory countermeasures such as "all shutdown" and "stop first".
