At 10:00 on March 11, 2008, a press conference was held at the First Session of the 11th National People's Congress. Xie Zhenhua, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission and deputy director Zhang Lijun of the State Environmental Protection Administration, answered questions from reporters on environmental resources and energy-saving emission reduction issues. .
[Economic Daily reporter] I would like to ask the Deputy Director of Development and Reform Commission Xie Zhenhua to mention the implementation of the accountability system for energy conservation and emission reduction in this year's energy conservation and emission reduction work arrangement. Excuse me, what is the current assessment of energy saving and emission reduction? If we fail to achieve our goal, can we really implement one vote veto?
[Xie Zhenhua] Recently, many media have been asking what the content of the accountability system for energy conservation and emission reduction is. Can we really do it? Indeed, the whole society is concerned. In November last year, the State Council issued plans and measures for the implementation of energy-saving and emission-reduction assessments, requiring statistics, monitoring, and assessment of the annual energy-saving and emission-reduction status of provincial-level people's governments and 1,000 key energy-consuming enterprises. The results of the evaluation should be used as an important basis for the implementation of accountability and accountability.
Now all relevant departments have started to work on this task. In accordance with the requirements of the measures and programs, some verification groups have already been organized to check the energy saving and emission reduction of the provincial people's governments. The National Bureau of Statistics and the State Environmental Protection Administration have also verified the final data of energy-saving and emission-reduction for emission reductions by provincial governments. In March of this year, the provincial people’s governments announced the results of energy-saving and emission reduction of 1,000 key enterprises.
From May to June of this year, the State Council will announce the energy conservation and emission reduction of provincial governments. After the publication of the results, it was faced with the problem of accountability. Provincial and key enterprises that did not complete their tasks were required to make explanations and rectify within a time limit, and they could not be assessed for the first time in this year, nor could they be given other honorary titles. In addition, the new high energy-consuming projects in this region and in this enterprise will cease to approve and implement regional restrictions. The final result should also be given to the organizational department and the SASAC as an important part of the evaluation of the performance of provincial governments. The evaluation of the performance of key enterprises is also a key content. This is the main content of the accountability system. It is March and June this year. Separately assess the government and the company.
In addition, some provincial governments have also implemented the accountability system and their efforts are also quite large. As stipulated by the Hebei Province, 30 counties and 30 key energy-consuming enterprises must complete the task of energy-saving and emission-reduction within three years. If they cannot complete the task, they will be removed from office on the spot. Various provinces are now taking corresponding measures.
