Present at today's press conference are reporters and friends from more than 10 news media of the central government stationed in Gansu, provinces, and municipalities.

First of all, I would like to report on the environmental quality status of the province in June 2023.

In June 2023, the average concentration of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and inhalable particulate matter (PM10) was 46 micrograms per cubic meter, and the proportion of good days in the province was 87.9%. 97.3% of the 74 state-controlled sections had excellent water quality (reaching or better than Class III.), and 1.4% of the water bodies were inferior to Class V.

Next, Comrade Si Xiangfeng is invited to introduce the relevant situation of the province's ecological and environmental law enforcement work.

Si Xiangfeng: Friends from the media, good morning, and sincerely thank you for your long-term concern and support for the comprehensive administrative law enforcement work of ecological and environmental protection in our province. Next, I would like to introduce the relevant situation of the province's ecological and environmental law enforcement work.

Up to now, there are 83 ecological and environmental law enforcement agencies in our province (14 at the municipal level and 69 at the county level), with a total of 1,653 personnel and 1,448 law enforcement personnel, including 938 front-line law enforcement personnel. It undertook 184 comprehensive administrative law enforcement matters for ecological and environmental protection (166 administrative penalties and 18 administrative compulsions). The targets of law enforcement and supervision include 11,043 pollutant discharge enterprises, 3,089 construction projects, 1,192 water sources, and 126 nature reserves. 965 provincial-level key pollutant discharge units have been identified, 577 online networking enterprises have been installed with 1,593 monitoring points, 204 enterprises and 285 sites have been installed with dynamic control systems, and 527 points have been installed in 60 enterprises with intelligent electricity management and control systems. Since 2022, the ecological and environmental law enforcement work in Gansu Province has anchored the overall goal of solving the outstanding ecological and environmental problems around the people and escorting the green and high-quality development of our province, conscientiously implemented the spirit of the National Provincial Ecological Environmental Protection Work Conference and the Ecological Environmental Protection Law Enforcement Work Conference, and always adhered to the same direction and undiminished intensity, and made every effort to optimize law enforcement methods and improve law enforcement efficiency.

The first is to focus on the main responsibilities and main businesses, and strengthen daily supervision and law enforcement. Strictly implement the regulatory requirements of "double randomization and one disclosure", coordinate the regulatory needs of each business field, scientifically formulate and implement annual spot check and inspection plans, comprehensively consider credit ratings, positive lists, and other circumstances, and implement dynamic adjustments. Issued the "Gansu Provincial Ecological Environment "Double Random, One Open" Supervision Work Implementation Plan, to promote the institutionalization, scientificization and standardization of daily supervision work, relying on the Gansu Provincial Ecological Environment Monitoring Big Data Management Platform, the establishment of pollution source supervision object database and inspector information database, to achieve the classification of supervision objects and inspectors, dynamic adjustment. Since 2022, ecological and environmental departments at all levels in the province have inspected 17,093 pollutant discharge units on-site and 2,244 off-site inspection of pollutant discharge units. A total of 1,007 cases of ecological and environmental violations were filed and investigated in the province, and 57 cases of "five types of cases" (continuous daily fines, production restriction and suspension, sealing and seizure, transfer to administrative detention, and transfer to criminal case filing) were implemented. Since 2023, the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment has coordinated the mobilization of the province's law enforcement backbone, played the supporting role of the expert team, and successively carried out 3 rounds of cross-supervision and assistance in 7 key areas such as Lanzhou City, Jiuquan City, and Gannan Prefecture, and found more than 300 violations of laws and regulations such as improper operation of pollution prevention and control facilities, data fraud, and non-standard hazardous waste management.

The second is to pay close attention to key areas and implement special law enforcement actions. It has successively deployed and carried out seven special law enforcement actions, including the "three simultaneities" of construction projects and independent acceptance, the implementation of pollution discharge permits for fixed pollution sources, and the quality of carbon emission reporting data. The Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment gave full play to the advantages of information resources, and pushed more than 60 clues to the city and prefecture through environmental management data analysis, petition problem mapping and daily scheduling statistics. All localities have adopted methods such as setting up task forces and carrying out cross-law enforcement, carried out 2,945 special inspections, and found and solved a large number of outstanding ecological and environmental problems in key areas. For two consecutive years, the Provincial Public Security Department and the Provincial Procuratorate have jointly carried out the crackdown on environmental violations and crimes of hazardous waste and the falsification of automatic monitoring data of key pollutant discharge units, and the province has investigated and handled 27 cases involving hazardous waste and automatic monitoring data fraud, of which 14 cases have been transferred to the public security organs. The Provincial Public Security Department, the Provincial Court, the Provincial Procuratorate, and the Provincial Market Supervision Bureau jointly carried out a special action to crack down on fraud and illegal acts by third-party environmental protection service agencies, investigated and handled 10 cases of fraud by third-party environmental protection service agencies, and handed over 1 case to the Provincial Market Supervision Bureau. The investigation and remediation of solid waste dumping in the Yellow River Basin was carried out, and all 217 problem points assigned by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment in two batches to our province were completed for on-site investigation and verification. We have made every effort to promote the special action of investigation and remediation of sewage outlets in the Yellow River Basin, and 3,903 of the 4,509 outlets that have been assigned have been reported and remediated, with a completion rate of 86.56%.

The third is to adhere to the problem-oriented approach and continue to carry out investigation and rectification. In accordance with the unified arrangement of the provincial government, the province will focus on 24 types of problems in six aspects, including river and lake remediation, ecological protection, environmental infrastructure construction, pollution prevention and control, high-quality development, and problem rectification. During the period, the whole province closely followed the general tone of ecology first and protection first, highlighted the investigation of all elements in the field of ecological environment, and found a total of 178 outstanding ecological and environmental problems, 171 of which have been remediated, and the remaining 7 are being promoted as planned. A total of 398 illegal sewage outlets into the river have been banned, and 1,276 sewage outlets have been rectified that exceed the standard. Through investigation and rectification, a number of hot spots and difficult problems in the ecological environment that have been strongly reflected by the masses have been effectively solved, and the people's sense of ecological gain and happiness has been significantly enhanced. Our department carried out a social satisfaction survey through the WeChat public platform, with more than 50,000 participants in the province, and the awareness rate of the investigation and rectification of ecological and environmental problems exceeded 95%, and the overall satisfaction rate reached 98%.

Fourth, optimize law enforcement methods and establish and improve systems and mechanisms. The Provincial Department of Natural Resources, the Provincial Department of Water Resources, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau jointly issued the "Gansu Provincial Measures for the Transfer of Clues on Ecological and Environmental Violations (Trial)" to establish a mechanism for the transfer of clues on ecological and environmental violations. Released 7 issues of 49 typical cases to provide guidance for administrative law enforcement in various localities. The 1,265 enterprises with small pollutant emissions, low environmental risks, and standardized environmental management were included in the positive list of ecological environmental supervision and law enforcement, and differentiated management was implemented, and local ecological and environmental departments carried out 3,841 off-site inspections of the enterprises in the list, and guided and assisted 1,869 enterprises. Strengthen the connection between administrative law enforcement and criminal justice, organize and convene joint meetings and major case consultation meetings, conduct consultations and discussions on key issues and leads held at the provincial level, and jointly implement provincial-level joint supervision and handling of 6 key cases by the provincial public security department and the provincial procuratorate, and sort out and publish 5 typical cases. Implement the requirements of soft law enforcement, help optimize the business environment, guide all localities to carry out inclusive and prudent supervision, minimize the impact of administrative law enforcement acts on the normal production and business activities of market entities, and do not impose administrative penalties on minor violations in accordance with the law and promptly correct them, or where the first violation of the law and the harmful consequences of the ecological environment are minor and corrected in a timely manner, and since 2022, local ecological and environmental departments have implemented a total of 85 cases of exemption from administrative punishment.

Fifth, we will continue to lay the foundation and strengthen the capacity of law enforcement. Deploy and carry out the province's comprehensive ecological and environmental protection administrative law enforcement team style capacity building special rectification, from the ideological construction, team building, style construction, capacity building, integrity construction five aspects to carry out a large-scale investigation and rectification, law enforcement team personnel shortage, in the staff is not on duty, insufficient vehicles and equipment, internal management is not strict, ability level is not high and other outstanding problems have been effectively solved. Deploy the law enforcement team to "four inspections and four looks" action, strengthen the implementation of responsibilities, encourage responsibility, pay close attention to the construction of work style, and promote administration according to law. Formulate and issue the "Gansu Provincial Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Team Construction Task Ledger", clarify 60 construction tasks, and guide all localities to benchmark and implement them one by one. Solidly carry out large-scale training activities for ecological and environmental law enforcement, continue to strengthen the "year-round, full-staff, and whole-process", and actively use methods such as business training, knowledge competitions, and on-site competitions to effectively improve comprehensive law enforcement capabilities. Issued the "Gansu Provincial Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Agency Standardization Demonstration Creation Work Plan", clarified the construction standards of city and county ecological and environmental law enforcement agencies, deployed the standardized demonstration creation of law enforcement agencies, and included the creation of projects in the first batch of demonstration projects in the province in 2023, and 6 cities and prefectures have submitted applications for creation. Held two phases of on-the-job training for ecological and environmental law enforcement cadres, established two law enforcement training bases for waste incineration power generation and online monitoring, and organized two sessions of training, with a total of more than 400 people trained. Coordinate and promote the distribution of new law enforcement clothing, and the provincial level and 14 cities and prefectures have all completed the distribution of clothing.

In the next step, the province's ecological and environmental law enforcement work will conscientiously implement the spirit of the National Provincial Ecological and Environmental Protection Work Conference, mainly focus on in-depth pollution prevention and control, focus on key tasks, grasp key links, solve outstanding contradictions, adhere to the main tone of strictness, highlight accurate and scientific law enforcement in accordance with the law, and provide strong law enforcement guarantee for the construction of beautiful Gansu.

First, promote the further improvement of the efficiency of law enforcement and supervision. The first is to further strengthen the "double random, one open" supervision. Fully rely on the big data management platform, improve and improve the "two libraries and one order", do a good job in data fusion analysis, strengthen the coordination and cooperation of the competent departments of the same industry and the business departments within the department, efficiently coordinate law enforcement resources, and scientifically and reasonably carry out spot checks and inspections. The second is to further strengthen off-site supervision. Focusing on automatic monitoring, it integrates satellite remote sensing, dynamic control, electricity and energy monitoring, drone inspection and other means, gives full play to the role of big data analysis, and accurately discovers illegal clues. Strengthen the implementation of the off-site supervision system, strengthen supervision and verification, guide and help relevant enterprises to rectify problems in a timely manner, and achieve stable emission standards. The third is to further strengthen the use of information technology. Continue to pay close attention to the use of mobile law enforcement systems, promote full coverage of mobile law enforcement, optimize and improve the "checklist" law enforcement functions of the system in light of actual conditions, and improve the efficiency and standardization of on-site law enforcement. Standardize the reporting of the punishment system, and clarify the time limit and requirements for reporting. Fourth, further strengthen the convergence of the "two laws". Improve the quality of the implementation of the various systems and mechanisms for the convergence of the "two laws", strengthen communication and contact with the public security, courts, procuratorates and judicial departments, strengthen consensus on evidence identification, early intervention, and coordinated case handling, improve the efficiency of transfer, improve the effectiveness of the connection, and ensure that cases of suspected environmental pollution crimes discovered by the ecological and environmental departments "should be removed and investigated".

Second, we need to further strengthen the implementation of key tasks. The first is to complete all kinds of special law enforcement actions arranged and deployed by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment with high standards. Complete the investigation and rectification of sewage outlets in the Yellow River Basin, crack down on the falsification of hazardous waste and monitoring data, the "three simultaneities" and independent acceptance of construction projects, the implementation of pollution discharge permits for fixed pollution sources, waste incineration power generation, carbon emission report quality and other special law enforcement actions, strengthen the dispatch and supervision of the municipal and state ecological and environmental departments, and carry out special supervision and guidance in areas where the implementation of tasks is not effective and the results are not obvious. The second is to plan and carry out special law enforcement actions in the province. According to the current situation of the ecological environment in various regions, industries and river basins grasped at the provincial level, in view of the obvious decline in environmental quality, the frequent occurrence of excessive discharge problems, the concentration of environmental petitions, and the frequent occurrence of problems in transfer and supervision, special law enforcement actions at the provincial level shall be carried out in a timely manner by means of cross-inspection and key inspection, and efforts shall be concentrated on solving the problem of ecological and environmental violations. The third is to complete the verification of clues for all types of transfer supervision at all levels. Establish and improve the department's special case investigation and handling mechanism, strengthen coordination and cooperation with relevant business departments, technical support units and local ecological and environmental departments, give full play to technical advantages, and improve the efficiency and quality of the investigation and handling of clues transferred to supervision. Fourth, carry out normalized anti-gang and anti-evil work.

Solidly carry out standardized demonstration and creation activities of law enforcement agencies, create a number of standardized construction "model rooms", use opportunities such as martial arts competitions and job training to organize observation and learning, condense and forward construction experience, and drive the overall construction level of the province's ecological and environmental law enforcement agencies to steadily improve. The third is to improve the ability of law enforcement practical training. Further build and make good use of the comprehensive administrative law enforcement training base for ecological and environmental protection, set up training subjects in combination with the characteristics of the industry and the key points of ecological environmental supervision and law enforcement, and organize simulated law enforcement assessments, so as to promote actual combat and improve law enforcement capabilities. Fourth, improve the quality of the implementation of the law enforcement system. Further improve and improve the province's ecological and environmental law enforcement system, strengthen the "three systems", law enforcement inspection, efficiency evaluation, positive list and other systems to implement the quality, and effectively play the restraining role of the system. Thank you.

Du Haiping: Thank you, Comrade Si Xiangfeng, for your introduction. Next, there will be a question session for reporters, and please inform the name of the media before asking questions.

CNR: At present, the province's economy has maintained a good momentum of steady progress, what measures have been taken by ecological and environmental law enforcement to serve enterprises to help high-quality economic development?

Si Xiangfeng: In recent years, the province's ecological environment system has adhered to precise pollution control, scientific pollution control, and pollution control in accordance with the law, focusing on continuing to fight the battle of blue sky, clear water, and pure land, constantly optimizing law enforcement methods, standardizing law enforcement behaviors, improving law enforcement efficiency, and striving to achieve "nothing to disturb" for law-abiding enterprises and "hanging the sword high" for illegal enterprises.

The first is to promote standardized law enforcement and strengthen the "fence" of the system. The "List of Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Matters for Ecological and Environmental Protection in Gansu Province (2023 Edition)" was issued, adding 22 new law enforcement items, providing an institutional basis for the province's ecological and environmental departments to enforce the law in accordance with the law. Issued the "Gansu Provincial Ecological Environment Administrative Law Enforcement Document Preparation Guide (2023 Revised Edition)" to further standardize the province's ecological and environmental comprehensive administrative law enforcement procedures and improve the level of administration according to law. The "Opinions on Strengthening the Provincial Ecological and Environmental Law Enforcement to Promote High-quality Development" was formulated and promulgated, and 18 measures were put forward from four aspects: strict supervision of ecological and environmental law enforcement, standardization of administrative law enforcement inspections involving enterprises, continuous optimization of administrative law enforcement methods, and building an iron army of ecological and environmental law enforcement. Innovative development provides an action guide for the high-quality economic and social development of the province.

The second is to be inclusive and prudent in law enforcement, and optimize law enforcement methods. Comprehensively implement positive list management, include enterprises with small pollutant emissions, low environmental risks, and standardized environmental management into the positive list of ecological environmental supervision and law enforcement, and implement dynamic adjustments to promote the institutionalization and normalization of positive list work. Strengthen off-site law enforcement, for positive list enterprises, in principle, only through satellite remote sensing, drone inspections, online monitoring, video surveillance, energy monitoring, big data analysis and other scientific and technological means to carry out off-site inspections, in the "double random, one open" supervision process, the first time each year to be spot-checked enterprises can be exempted from on-site inspections, vigorously reduce the positive list of enterprises to meet the burden of inspection. Carry out soft law enforcement in accordance with law, comprehensively using non-coercive means such as administrative guidance, administrative warnings, and administrative suggestions, to educate and guide market entities to consciously abide by the law and self-correct their mistakes. Strengthen the empowerment of science and technology, give full play to the analysis and early warning functions of information systems such as automatic monitoring and dynamic control, timely issue early warning notices, and urge enterprises to achieve stable pollutant discharge, and successively through the comprehensive analysis of automatic monitoring of pollution sources and dynamic control video surveillance, on-site assistance has been provided to 25 enterprises for problems such as steep drops, steep rises and falls, and modified parameters after the automatic monitoring data of pollution sources exceeds the standard. Up to now, the province has installed automatic monitoring equipment for pollution sources at 329 points in 162 sewage treatment plants, and the effective rate of automatic monitoring data transmission of pollution sources is 97.1%, meeting the national assessment requirements. The provincial level issued 5 issues of the "Monthly Report on Off-site Law Enforcement Early Warning Information" and the "Announcement of Enterprises Suspected of Exceeding the Standard in the Provincial Automatic Monitoring Data", of which: 135 early warnings of suspected illegal enterprises, 135 times of suspected over-standard enterprises, 110 times of investigation and punishment, with an investigation rate of 81.48%, 5 penalties, and a penalty of 93,200 yuan.

The third is to strengthen supervision and assistance, and raise the "temperature" of law enforcement. Adhere to the equal emphasis on law enforcement and service, supervision and assistance, in accordance with the principle of service, guidance, assistance, rectification and reform, develop and innovate law enforcement and supervision methods, strengthen law enforcement assistance, guide enterprises to implement various pollution prevention and control measures, and enhance the green development ability of enterprises. Since 2023, it has successively carried out special assistance activities for domestic waste incineration power generation enterprises, supervision and assistance activities for chemical parks, and assistance activities for automatic monitoring of key pollution sources, inviting third-party technical experts to provide on-site guidance, focusing on the "three simultaneities" of enterprise environmental protection and completion acceptance, pollutant control and discharge, and automatic monitoring facilities It helps enterprises to find and analyze the reasons for exceeding the standard, and at the same time publicizes and popularizes the current ecological environment policies and regulations for enterprises, and improves the level of comprehensive management of the ecological environment of enterprises. Thank you!

Reporter from the National Grassroots Party Building Network: Since the beginning of this year, the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment has carried out multiple rounds of cross-supervision and assistance of the ecological environment.

Si Xiangfeng: Supervision and assistance work is an important measure to fight the tough battle of pollution prevention and control in depth. Since 2023, the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment has deployed three rounds of cross-supervision and assistance, through supervision and assistance, focusing on promoting the solution of outstanding ecological and environmental problems in key areas, continuously improving the quality of the ecological environment, and fully protecting the legitimate ecological and environmental rights and interests of the people.

First, problem-oriented and implementation-oriented. Focus on the decline in the quality of the air and water ecological environment and the serious situation of online data exceeding the standard in the area where the enterprise is located. Before the start of the inspection, through the investigation of petition problems, environmental management data analysis and daily grasp of the work situation, sort out the clues in advance, push the list of problems, and then each help group will take the "four noes and two straights", night inspection, measurement and management coordination and other ways to directly inspect the relevant enterprises to ensure that the inspection finds "real problems". It not only pays attention to the typical problems and outstanding shortcomings of key areas, key industries and key enterprises, but also pays attention to regional universality and tendencies, and effectively promotes the implementation of rectification measures for related problems, and effectively improves regional ecological and environmental law enforcement.

The second is to improve efficiency with technical support. Experts from the South China Institute of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment were invited to carry out special supervision and assistance to the 10 domestic waste incineration power generation enterprises newly put into operation in our province twice to achieve full coverage. Industry and technical experts in the province were invited to participate, and 88 enterprises in 26 counties and districts in 7 cities including Jinchang and Longnan were cross-checked, and more than 300 problems were found in the environmental protection procedures, implementation of the pollutant discharge permit system, and hazardous waste management, and clues were handed over to the city and state.

The third is to train the strong ability of the team. Adhere to the cross-supervision and assistance as an important position for cultivating and exercising the law enforcement team, invite experts from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment to guide and assist in the work, select outstanding law enforcement backbones to participate in national supervision and assistance, and assign city and state law enforcement backbones to carry out cross-supervision and assistance in the province, and form a joint work force from top to bottom. More than 70 people have been selected to participate in the supervision and assistance of air quality improvement in key areas across the country, and 11 people have been commended. More than 30 law enforcement backbones in the city and prefecture have been successively dispatched to carry out cross-supervision work, stimulate cadres to advocate hard work, overcome difficulties, and strive to build an iron army of ecological and environmental protection. Thank you!

China Environment News: What have we done to improve the capacity of the ecological and environmental law enforcement team, and what results have been achieved so far?

Si Xiangfeng: The provincial ecological and environmental law enforcement team conscientiously implements the spirit of the National Provincial Ecological Environmental Protection Work Conference and the Ecological Environmental Protection Law Enforcement Work Conference, fully implements the action requirements of "three grasps and three promotions", takes the comprehensive law enforcement reform of the ecological environment as an opportunity, and takes the large-scale training of ecological environmental protection law enforcement as the leader, and innovates and boldly practices in team building, law enforcement training, and actual combat training, and strives to build an ecological environmental protection law enforcement iron army that is "particularly able to endure hardships, especially able to fight, and especially able to dedicate", and has achieved positive results.

The first is to promote training in actual combat and combine combat training to accelerate the improvement of the ability level of grassroots law enforcement personnel. In accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's "14th Five-Year Plan" for the construction of comprehensive administrative law enforcement teams for ecological and environmental protection, adhere to high standards, create characteristics, and strengthen actual combat, actively promote the construction of law enforcement training bases, and select a number of enterprises, universities and third-party institutions with strong industry representativeness, advanced governance technology, perfect facilities and equipment, strict environmental protection management, and strong teachers as the province's comprehensive administrative law enforcement "training ground" for ecological and environmental protection. Problem", on-site face-to-face, hand-in-hand coaching inspection methods and law enforcement skills, to help the participating law enforcement personnel to familiarize themselves with the construction principles of various pollution prevention and control facilities and the key points of investigation and punishment methods, and quickly improve the law enforcement ability and level of grassroots law enforcement personnel. At present, the province has built two law enforcement training bases for waste incineration power generation and online monitoring, and organized two phases of training, with a total of 248 people trained.

The second is to demonstrate and create, benchmark and lead, and accelerate the improvement of the level of standardized construction of law enforcement agencies. Issued the "Gansu Provincial Ecological and Environmental Protection Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Agency Standardization Creation Demonstration Activity Plan", from the standardization of institutional functions, the modernization of law enforcement equipment, the professionalization of team building, the institutionalization of institutional management, and the informatization of law enforcement and case handling five aspects of clear construction standards, orderly promote the standardization of six municipal law enforcement agencies, accelerate the creation of a number of standardized construction "model rooms", make full use of martial arts competitions, On-the-job training and other platforms organize observation and learning, condense and forward the experience of creation, and drive the steady improvement of the standardized construction level of the province's ecological and environmental law enforcement agencies.

The third is to promote training through learning and combat through training, and accelerate the improvement of the overall quality of the main force of the iron army of ecological and environmental protection. Since 2022, our department has focused on the problems existing in the quality of case files, actual combat training, and the investigation and handling of key cases, and continued to strengthen the "year-round, full-staff, and whole-process", and actively adopted methods such as business training, knowledge competitions, and on-site competitions to effectively improve comprehensive law enforcement capabilities. The Provincial Department of Justice and the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions jointly carried out the Gansu Provincial Labor and Skills Competition for Millions of Employees and the 2023 Provincial Ecological and Environmental Protection Law Enforcement Training Competition, carefully set up competition subjects such as style display, knowledge competition, on-site skill competition, and individual competition, and organized 14 cities and prefectures in the province and 42 law enforcement pioneers to compete on the same stage. Organize and carry out cross-evaluation of law enforcement files, invite responsible comrades and experts who participate in the review of the case files of the national law enforcement training, conduct a detailed analysis of the case files of our province, interpret the "Measures for Administrative Punishment of the Ecological Environment", and guide the case file review personnel of all cities and prefectures to hold special seminars on case review and mutual evaluation of cases, so as to continuously improve the quality and level of case files in the province. Thank you!

Lanzhou Morning Post: What work has our province done and what results have been achieved in strengthening joint law enforcement and forming a joint force in law enforcement?

Si Xiangfeng: In recent years, the Gansu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment has continued to promote the effective implementation of relevant working mechanisms and systems in the "Gansu Provincial Implementation Rules for the Convergence of Ecological and Environmental Administrative Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice", and guided some municipal and state ecological and environmental departments to jointly issue targeted case-handling guidelines, evidence guidelines and other documents in conjunction with public security, procuratorate, judicial and other organs.

First, we will continue to carry out the "two strikes" campaign in depth. The Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, the Provincial Public Security Department, and the Provincial Procuratorate have jointly carried out special actions to crack down on environmental violations and crimes of hazardous waste and automatic monitoring data fraud of key pollutant discharge units for two consecutive years, and have tracked and supervised key cases, and the province has investigated and handled 27 administrative punishment cases involving hazardous waste and automatic monitoring data fraud, of which 14 have been transferred (transferred) to the public security organs.

The second is to continue to deepen the convergence of the "two laws". The Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment invited the Provincial Public Security Department, the Provincial Court, the Provincial Procuratorate, the Provincial Department of Justice, and the Provincial Administration for Market Regulation to hold a joint meeting on the convergence of the "two laws" in 2023 and a consultation meeting on the case of key cases to discuss the implementation of specific matters such as information sharing and joint law enforcement.

The third is to implement the two-way transfer of clues on ecological and environmental violations. The Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, the Provincial Department of Natural Resources, the Provincial Department of Water Resources, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Provincial Forestry and Grassland Bureau jointly issued the "Gansu Provincial Measures for the Transfer of Ecological and Environmental Illegal Clues (Trial)", establishing a mechanism for the transfer of ecological and environmental illegal clues, and establishing a mechanism for reporting feedback, information sharing and regular consultation on ecological and environmental illegal clues throughout the province, further closely cooperating and cooperating, implementing regulatory responsibilities, continuously optimizing law enforcement methods, and improving law enforcement efficiency. Thank you!
