Triangles Test Environmental Pollution Third Party Governance

In mid January, the general office of the State Council issued the "opinions on the implementation of third party governance on environmental pollution". After half a month, the author interviewed 5 textile printing and dyeing enterprises and found that only 3 enterprises were aware of the issuance of this opinion, and these 3 enterprises were indifferent to opinions.

After in-depth exchanges, the relevant officials of the 3 enterprises indicated that they were concerned about whether the price mechanism could be straightened out, how to define the responsibility and how to place the supervision in place.

The third party governance of environmental pollution is a new mode that the polluter pays the fee according to the contract, and entrustment the Environment Services Inc to carry out pollution control.

At present, the main body of pollution control in China is polluting enterprises and local governments that protect public services. This leads to the fact that the main body of pollution control is very dispersed.

For example, where printing and dyeing enterprises gather, every enterprise is investing in sewage treatment equipment, and the enterprise is also responsible for daily operation, and a professional environmental protection enterprise can completely deal with the wastewater pollution generated by these enterprises.

The third party governance of environmental pollution is to change the past "who pollutes, who governs" as "who pollutes, who pays, and the third party governs". The advantage is to effectively improve the efficiency of pollution control, reduce the cost of pollution control, improve the quality of the environment, and also promote the development of environmental protection industry.

But in practice, textile printing and dyeing enterprises are suffering.

The person in charge told reporters that their enterprises had launched the third party governance project in the past, but there were more than one or two problems encountered during the implementation of the project.

For example, if the enterprise entrusts the third party to carry out specialized management, the third party will determine a mid priced price. This winning price should have changed with the change of the market cost, such as labor, material or electricity price, so the cost of pollution control should be changed correspondingly. Some cost changes are the risks that enterprises need to bear. The additional cost should be solved by adjusting the price mechanism reasonably, but the reality is that the cost that the enterprises themselves need to bear has increased a lot. The cost that should be solved by adjusting the price mechanism has been pferred to the enterprise, which directly leads to the increase of the cost of corporate governance.

In addition, let the enterprises troubled, third party governance enterprises in the provision of governance, although in accordance with the bidding documents on the project governance, but in the concrete governance has not listed in the tender pollution project, the third party refused to governance, the result is a problem, was investigated by the environmental protection department, according to the existing law, this board still falls on the enterprise body.

"Some places

Lax, I know that some enterprises steal and steal, even if they are punished, the degree is very light, which is more cost-effective than paying high pollution charges.

A person familiar with the pollution discharge work in printing and dyeing enterprises told reporters.

Wang Shancheng, deputy director of the resource conservation and environmental protection division of the national development and Reform Commission, responded to these problems in the practice of the third party governance in environmental pollution.

As a new mode of pollution control, the third party governance is not easy to carry out, and it is necessary to carry out the "opinions" and ensure the effectiveness of the third party governance.

After an interview, the reporter learned that, in the specific practice of the third party governance of environmental pollution, enterprises urgently want to define the responsibilities of the polluter and the third party, improve the entry criteria of the third party enterprises, and improve the supervision and auditing mechanism; at the same time, they hope to unify the regulatory standards and strengthen the pre approval of the third party's operation.

In view of the positive signals released by the opinion, experts suggest that there will be various problems on the way of introducing the third party governance. It is necessary for the three parties of enterprises, governments and third parties to make joint efforts to standardize the contents of the implementation of the experience. The uncertainty should be improved through market correction in the process of pushing forward, so as to ensure the true implementation.
