Original title: Emphasis on expansion, light on environmental protection, the first batch of state companies included in the central environmental protection inspector has these problems
Beijing News (Reporter Deng Qi) On May 11, the Central Environmental Protection Inspectorate gave feedback to two state-owned companies in one day, namely China Minmetals and China National Chemical. Central company.
The Beijing News reporter found that the two central companies had some common problems, including strong expansion and environmental protection, subordinate companies broke the legal balance, ignored local supervision, and falsely rectified the inspection problem. Responsibility of the subject of governance, etc.

There is a problem of strong expansion and slight environmental protection
The inspection team noted that China Minmetals and China National Chemical have strong expansion problems and slight environmental protection.
For example, although the strategic planning scheme of the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” of the Minmetals Group and the “Development Plan 2019-2021” list the objectives of energy saving and emission reduction, but there are no specific measures, leading to relaxation of requirements during specific implementation. To enter the rare earth field, Minmetals Group still knows that Ganxian Hongjin Company’s production capacity is inconsistent with the completion of the acquisition; It has allowed Ganxian Hongjin, Dingnan Dahua and other companies to be built without approval. Issued production task indicators that exceeded the production capacity approved by the EIA.
In recent years, China’s chemical industry has also become more prominent in expanding scale and quality of development. As of the end of 2018, 47 of the 69 local state-owned companies that have been merged and acquired since the company’s establishment in 2004 have filed for bankruptcy, canceled, suspended, or become zombies, or transferred property rights, leaving many outstanding ecological and environmental problems.

Break into the legal bottom line and ignore local oversight
Last year, during the period when the inspection stationed at these two central companies, typical cases were successively published and many environmental issues of China Minmetals and China Chemical were listed. In typical cases, core companies were accused of having long-term luck.
Today’s report shows that Luzhong Mining, a Minmetals subsidiary, still uses the caving method to mine, resulting in 11 hectares of collapsed land in the mining area and no land reclamation work. There is also little awareness of the environmental laws and regulations of some subsidiaries. Since 2015, only 11 provinces (autonomous regions), including Liaoning, Jiangsu, and Hunan, have imposed more than 120 sanctions for environmental violations by Minmetals subsidiaries. Companies like MCC Shaanxi Heavy Industry Equipment Co., Ltd., Hunan Nonferrous Metals Group Co., Ltd., Hengyang Shuikoushan Jinxin Lead Industry Co., Ltd., etc., do not even accept the lack of cooperation with local supervision.
The inspectors also found that the Minmetals Group only performed a simple review of the total emission reduction data reported by its subsidiaries, and paid little attention to the actual work. After MCC changed its stake in Huludao Zinc Company from holding to holding, it took approximately 8508 tons of sulfur dioxide emitted by the company as the group’s emissions reduction, representing 95% of the reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide. sulfur of the total group in 2016-2018%, The reduction of sulfur dioxide of the entire group is reduced to a digital game.
Some subsidiaries of China National Chemical have little awareness of environmental laws and regulations. Since 2013, 65 production and operating companies have been punished for environmental violations. Among them, Jinan Yuxing Chemical Co., Ltd., Shandong Huaxing Petrochemical Group Co., Ltd. and Blue Star Petroleum Co., Ltd. Companies such as the Jinan branch received 40, 30 and 14 local administrative penalties for environmental violations. Some companies even repeatedly broke legal results and ignored local supervision. For example, Shenyang Paraffin Chemical Co., Ltd. has been punished 9 times for environmental violations, with a cumulative fine of 2.19 million yuan. However, the company refused to pay the fine and tried. The tripartite company for environmental protection engineering transfers the responsibility for the administrative sanction.

Lack of transmission mechanism for environmental protection responsibility
During the parking period, the inspection team noted that the central companies lacked the transmission mechanism for environmental protection responsibilities and did not assume primary responsibility for pollution control.
Today’s report shows that China Minmetals Group has been unable to track and monitor the environmental problems of its subsidiaries. For example, Chenzhou Diamond Tungsten Company has serious unorganized exhaust emissions, and the problem of odor alteration is prominent. A large amount of hazardous waste accumulates in the open air for a long time. Local authorities have repeatedly ordered the rectification, but it has never been resolved. When the rectification was not in place, the group company informed the Chenzhou government that the rectification task had been completed. Accountability to environmental protection assessments of subordinate companies is also more than formal. For a long time, environmental protection work only represents 2.5% of the weight of performance evaluation. In 2019, even stipulating that, in addition to liability accidents, environmental problems can only be deducted up to 2 points.
Minmetals’ weak assessment of directly managed companies is not only formal, but the assessment of directly managed companies to subordinate companies is also formal. For example, in 2017, the Central Environmental Protection Inspection Group notified several subsidiaries of China Minmetals Nonferrous Metals. In 2018, Hunan’s Nonferrous Chemical Oxygen Demand exceeded total emissions. The environmental protection problems of the Nanchang Cemented Carbide Company have not been rectified, but none in the Encarnar evaluation; Luzhong Mining’s internal performance evaluation not only fails to assess environmental protection, but also rewards the mine’s over-exploiting behavior.

Since 2013, ChemChina subsidiaries have been punished up to 287 times for violations of ecological and environmental laws and regulations. However, group companies generally do not and do not understand these situations. They only evaluate and deduct points from the 36 reported cases of punishment. The underreporting act has not been corrected and investigated. In December 2018, the Central Ecological Environmental Protection Inspection Group publicly notified Shandong Changyi Petrochemical Co., Ltd. of the illegal production and sale of unqualified diesel fuel and the manufacture of false materials against inspections. The China Chemical Industry did not organize the investigation and verification until the inspection team was stationed. Responsibility for investigations. The environmental management of some Chinese chemical companies is still blank.
Shallow, shallow and simulated grinding is more common
In the first round of central environmental protection inspectors and “retrospective” public comments, 6 companies affiliated with China Chemical Industry participated. ChemChina has not organized to promote rectification work, which has led to the problems of surface grinding, surface grinding and faking grinding.
Regarding the problems pointed out by the central environmental protection inspector, although the Minmetals Group has prepared the inspection and rectification plan, it has not been studied by the group’s company leadership, nor has it been issued. In 2016, when the central government conducted environmental protection inspections in Jiangxi province, the inspection team receivedMinmetals Rare EarthThere are 5 reports on the rare earth smell problem of red gold that bothers people, but the company only rectified one mining workshop, and the remaining three workshops have not solved the problem of disturbing people.
In addition, the inspector also found that environmental pollution and risks from central companies are important. For example, some subsidiaries of China Minmetals have significant environmental risks,Zhuye GroupAbout 20,000 tons of relocation remnants, 12,000 tons of Minmetals Copper waste, more than 6,000 tons of Shuangxing Antimony alkaline arsenic slag, more than 5,000 tons of Shuikoushan Company heavy metal containing hazardous waste, and more than 1,000 tons of nickel-iron slag from China Metallurgical Ramu Not treated in a timely manner, there are hidden environmental risks.
For these two central companies, the inspection team mentioned that it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and evaluation of ecological environmental protection and the daily supervision of subordinate companies, and carry out the work of ecological environmental protection throughout the production process, operation and management. Furthermore, it is necessary to intensify efforts to optimize the adjustment of the industrial structure, focus on the prevention and control of pollution, and effectively promote the rectification of the problems reported by the inspectors.
■ Background:
The Ecology and Environment Ministry once pointed out that the environmental problems of the central companies are “shocking”
In late 2017, China officially completed the first round of central environmental protection inspections in 31 provinces.
Since last year, the second round of inspectors began. The current round of inspectors plans to complete full coverage of the routine inspection in three years, and complete the second round of “introspection” in one year. For the first time, this round of inspectors included central companies and relevant departments of the State Council.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment has previously stated that the inspection of the first batch of two central companies will be carried out in accordance with the three stages of “comprehensive inspection, key inspection, analysis and summary”. Among them, the key monitoring stage is mainly to investigate and verify clues to key problems solved in the initial stage by the headquarters group and the sinking group, to verify in detail the environmental protection work of the subordinate companies and the existing problems, and achieve “see everything, see responsibility.” Taking into account the “multi-point” characteristics of the companies affiliated with the central companies, a special team was also organized on site to carry out mobile inspections.
Last year, in the parking lot of the group of inspectors, he had simultaneously revealed some of the environmental problems of the two mentioned central companies. Liu Youbin, spokesperson for the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, previously stated that some of the announced cases were shocking. Some companies made false corrections. The masses responded firmly. This reflects that central companies still have problems in terms of ecological and environmental protection and insufficient pressure transmission. Note.
Liu Youbin said that core companies are an important force to protect the country’s comprehensive strength and people’s fundamental interests. They must set an example by practicing the ecological civilization of Xi Jinping, implement new development concepts, and promote high-quality development. They must set an example and serve as a model for other companies. Take your head. In the next step, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment will urge central companies and local governments to take joint measures to further consolidate their responsibilities, solve the strong problems of the masses found in the inspectors and make the core companies a true model for high-quality development.
