On December 15, 2018, Li Ganjie, secretary of the Party Leadership Group, said in his speech at the Nanning Annual Conference of the China Ecological Civilization Forum that a new round of inspection will be launched from next year. It is planned to carry out the second round of ecological inspection in another four years. "It is planned that the first three years will be regular comprehensive inspection, and the next year will be 'looking back'."

According to the information previously released by the Ministry of Environment, as of December 6, the second batch of ecological environmental protection inspectors had completed the work of entering the five inspection teams "looking back". During the period of entry, the supervision team accepted a total of 38133 effective reports, and transferred 37679 reports to local authorities after merging repeated reports. 26873 cases have been completed by local governments, 12240 of which have been ordered to rectify; 2991 cases were filed and fined 214.1436 million yuan; 186 cases were filed for investigation, and 88 people were detained for administrative and criminal purposes; 1804 people were interviewed and 2177 were held accountable.

According to the arrangement, each supervision team has entered the stage of drafting the supervision report and sorting out the problem files, and has arranged special personnel to continue to focus on the situation of local supervision and reform, so as to ensure that the outstanding mass reports can be investigated and handled in a timely manner, made public and held accountable, and ensure that the mass reports are implemented and echoed.

Compared with the batch of "looking back" work carried out in the first half of this year, the names of the five inspection teams of the second batch of "looking back" have quietly changed. The word "ecological" has been added to the original inspection teams, which also reflects the changes brought about by the institutional reform this year.

According to the "Three Determinations" plan, the former National Environmental Protection Supervision Office, after changing its name to "Ecological Environmental Protection Supervision Office", was identified as one of the 21 internal institutions of the Ministry of Environment, responsible for supervising the implementation of the same responsibility of the party and government for ecological environmental protection, one post with two responsibilities, drafting the ecological environmental protection supervision system, work plan, implementation plan and organizing the implementation, To undertake the supervision, organization and coordination of ecological environment protection. Undertake the daily work of the ecological environment protection supervision working group.

The second round of inspection will be conducted as follows

"Focusing on the battle against pollution, especially the battle to defend the blue sky, we will launch a round of environmental protection inspection" looking back ". It will take about three years to complete the second round of inspection." A few days ago, at a regular press conference held after the establishment, Liu Youbin, the spokesman, introduced the work to be carried out by the inspection in 2018.

On the basis of the good results of the second round of inspection, what new priorities will the second round of inspection have?

"Looking back" for rectification of opposite wheels

The meeting of the Committee on Comprehensive Deepening Reform held on March 28 expressed "adhering to the problem orientation, daring to act hard, and achieving remarkable results", and affirmed the round of supervisors.

The data directly reflects the effect. Since the launch of the supervision pilot in Hebei Province in December 2015, supervisors have supervised 31 provinces (districts, cities) within two years. During the inspection period, more than 18000 party and government cadres were held accountable, 135000 environmental reports were received from the masses, and more than 80000 environmental problems around the masses were directly solved.

Before the second round of supervision, it is beneficial to consolidate the achievements by looking back on the rectification of the second round of supervision. Luo Jianhua, Vice President of the Environment Chamber of Commerce of the Federation of Industry and Commerce, believes that compared with the round, the second round of inspection may focus on the problem solving situation and the effect of the round of feedback. Chang Jiwen, deputy director of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy, said: "The severity of 'looking back' is not less than that of the round of inspectors. Whether the problems that have been found have been rectified in place and whether there are new problems will be the focus. The 'old accounts and new accounts' should be calculated together."

Promote high-quality economic development

At the th meeting of the Committee on Comprehensively Deepening Reform, the Report on the Summary of the Round of Environmental Protection Supervision and the Consideration of the Next Work was considered. The meeting pointed out that the next step is to focus on solving outstanding environmental problems, environmental quality and promoting high-quality economic development, consolidate the political responsibility for ecological civilization construction and environmental protection, and promote the in-depth development of environmental protection supervision.

"Promoting high-quality economic development" puts forward new tasks for supervisors. Previously, in various regions, the function of supervision to force industrial upgrading was constantly emerging, promoting the transformation of the economy to high-quality development. Taking Zhejiang Province as an example, many places have taken the opportunity of supervision to promote the transformation and upgrading of local characteristic industries. Quzhou City has formulated a plan for the transformation and upgrading of calcium industry to guide qualified enterprises to implement mergers and acquisitions and asset integration. Wenzhou promoted the transformation and upgrading of the forging and casting industry. Through supervision and rectification, 107 casting enterprises in Dajing Town, Yueqing, Wenzhou were eliminated and dismantled, and 31 casting enterprises selected by Longwan District were integrated into 8.

"The existing work of supervision, accountability, supervision and law enforcement can be seen as a stress test, which has achieved a win-win situation with the economy. Practice has proved that it is appropriate and feasible to implement green development and increase environmental protection on the impact of economic pressure." Wu Shunze, director of the Environmental and Economic Policy Research Center, said.

Improve the supervision mechanism

At the end of last year, Liu Changgen, deputy director of the National Environmental Protection Supervision Office, introduced at the press conference that the second round of supervision will further improve the supervision mechanism and gradually bring environmental protection supervision into the track of legalization and standardization.

In the process of supervision, interview is an important means of supervision, playing a deterrent and warning role. In the new round of supervision, the interview work will also be strengthened. "It is our goal to promote one area of work through one interview." Liu Changgen said that in 2018, the interviewees planned to focus on the following aspects: first, to fight the battle against pollution, we should interview areas with insufficient efforts, lagging work and concentrated problems; Second, the three "ten" goals of atmosphere, water and soil have not been completed, and the environmental quality has declined significantly; Third, the areas where the supervision and rectification are not effective, the problems rebound, and cause adverse effects; The fourth is the regions where the outstanding environmental problems are not solved effectively due to the instructions, or the exposure of the news media and the strong response of the masses.

In addition, it will guide the local authorities to establish a provincial supervision system, realize the national supervision of provinces, provincial supervision of cities and counties, and provincial supervision system and mechanism, and give play to the supervision linkage effect
