Pollution control according to law, protecting ecological environment with the power of rule of law —— Fourth, actively serving and implementing the task of "six guarantees" and resolutely winning the
Legal system is an important weapon to promote ecological environmental protection, and law enforcement supervision is an important means to win the battle against pollution. Facing the new situation of normalization of epidemic prevention and control, the ecological environment department should firmly establish the thinking of rule of law, adhere to administration, governance and protection according to law, and protect the ecological environment with the power of rule of law.
The quality of China’s ecological environment has obviously improved. One of the important reasons is that the legal system of ecological environment is getting stricter and stricter, the law enforcement and supervision are getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more means to punish environmental violations. The legal means such as seizure, daily penalty, crime imprisonment and damage compensation have become the swords hanging over the heads of offenders. The rigid constraint of the law made the offenders pay a high price, which played a great deterrent and preventive role.
At present, China has basically formed a system of eco-environmental laws and regulations led by environmental protection law. However, with the deepening of ecological civilization construction and the continuous improvement of eco-environmental protection requirements, environmental problems in some fields need to be controlled and solved by new legal systems, and their legislative gaps need to be filled urgently. There are still some previously enacted laws that are difficult to adapt to the new situation and new tasks and need to be revised in time. We should actively promote the formulation and revision of laws in the fields of Yangtze River protection, marine environmental protection, environmental impact assessment and biosafety, as well as administrative regulations in the fields of pollutant discharge permit and ecological environment monitoring. At the same time, we should summarize and refine the good experiences and practices accumulated in the tough battle of pollution prevention and control in time, upgrade them into systems, turn them into laws, and further establish and improve the legal system of ecological environment.
In recent years, local ecological and environmental departments have further intensified the "streamline administration, delegate power, strengthen regulation and improve services" reform, especially this year, in order to better support the economic and social development, the "two positive lists" system has been launched. We should not only help enterprises solve practical difficulties, but also strengthen law enforcement and supervision. It is necessary to continue to organize the central eco-environmental protection inspectors, promote the implementation of "the party and government have the same responsibility, one post and two responsibilities" in all localities, and solve a number of outstanding ecological and environmental problems; It is necessary to continue to strengthen supervision and fixed-point assistance, guide and help and urge key areas to solidly promote the comprehensive air pollution control plan in autumn and winter; For cities with outstanding ozone pollution, carry out special supervision and assistance for key industries of VOCs emission; Organize accurate supervision and assistance to key cities outside the region that have difficulties in achieving air quality improvement goals. On the platform of overall planning and strengthening supervision, we will integrate on-site inspections of key tasks of pollution prevention and control such as remediation of drinking water sources, further reduce the scale and time, and reduce the burden on grassroots.
If the law is not strictly enforced, it is a paper tiger. Law enforcement teams should practice their internal strength, constantly enhance their law enforcement capabilities and improve their law enforcement efficiency. Comprehensive use of daily continuous punishment and other means to strengthen the connection between ecological environment administrative law enforcement and criminal justice, strengthen the coordination and cooperation between law enforcement and monitoring departments, and severely crack down on ecological environment illegal and criminal acts that are strongly reflected by the masses and are subjective and malicious. Optimize law enforcement methods, further promote the "double random and open" supervision, and enhance the scientific, fair and effective supervision. It is necessary to strengthen the deep integration of law enforcement, key supervision and credit supervision, implement classified supervision of enterprises, and reasonably set the proportion and frequency of spot checks. Strengthen the automatic monitoring and management of key pollutant discharge units, give play to the "clairvoyance" function of hot grid, vigorously promote the use of intelligent means, and promote off-site supervision to improve the efficiency of law enforcement. It is necessary to improve the working mechanism of letters and visits, implement the reward reporting system, regard letters and visits as a "gold mine" for finding clues about ecological and environmental problems, and promote the solution of outstanding ecological and environmental problems around the masses.
As a law enforcement department, the ecological environment department should adhere to the law and regulations and enhance the legitimacy of pollution prevention and control measures. Standardize law enforcement behavior in accordance with the Guiding Catalogue of Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Matters of Ecological Environmental Protection, further standardize discretion and put an end to arbitrary punishment and arbitrary law enforcement. For the rectification of ecological and environmental problems, we must resolutely prohibit "one size fits all" behavior, and put an end to simple and rude practices such as emergency shutdown and suspension of production, "all shutdown" and "stop first". Through strict law enforcement and supervision, it is necessary to urge enterprises to run pollution control facilities well, implement standards in place, guide enterprises to consciously abide by the law, establish a law-abiding incentive mechanism, and promote the sound development of ecological environmental protection.
