In the past two years, the inspector group has found out what environmental problems have been found in various places. What are the rectification situation in each place? How to carry out the next step? A series of questions have become the focus of attention from the outside world.
Central Environmental Inspector started 31 provinces in two years with full coverage
In July 2015, the 14th meeting of the Central Committee of the Shenzhen Restructuring Group deliberated and adopted the "Environmental Protection Inspector Program (Trial)" to clearly establish an environmental inspector mechanism, which will work in the form of a Central Environmental Protection Inspectorate to examine the progress made by the provincial party committee and government And related departments to carry out and sink to some municipal Party committees and government departments.
After a lapse of 5 months, the first batch of eight Central Environmental Protection Inspectors successively went to Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Henan, Guangxi, Yunnan and Ningxia to carry out inspections.

At present, the Central Environmental Protection Inspector has completed the full coverage of 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in the country and has released all the feedback from inspectors.
Out of about 1.43 billion yuan 'green tickets' accountability over 18,000 people
While the Central Environmental Protection Inspectorate set off an 'environmental storm' at the local level, it also implemented the strict and rigorous crackdown and strict accountability.
The reporter learned from the Ministry of Environmental Protection that the first round of inspectors handled a total of 135,000 reports of petitions from the masses, with a total of 29,000 penalties and a fine of about 1.43 billion yuan. It filed 1,518 criminal investigations and detained 1527 people, and interviewed 18448 party and government leading cadres , Accountability 18,199 people.
Among the 18,199 people who are accountable, 875 are cadres at the departmental level and above, 6386 are at the department level, and 10,938 are other personnel.

Inspector feedback merciless, uncovered these 'common problems'
In response to the problems discovered during the inspections, the Central Environmental Protection Inspectorate also made direct comments on the feedback given, without mercy.
For example, the inspector recently reported to Tibet by the Central Sixth Environmental Protection Inspectorate directly pointed out that many cadres in Tibet do not understand enough profoundly about the importance of building a national ecological security barrier and are content with the good ecology that nature gives. He believes that Tibet Broad area, good ecological background, environmental capacity, even if a little pollution or damage no big deal.
The Inspector Group pointed out to inspectors in Zhejiang Province that Zhejiang Provincial Commission of Information and Energy and the Bureau of Energy pushed over the situation and caused 829 new small-scale coal-fired boilers below 10 steam tons per hour since 2014.
Shandong Province has been criticized for being 'a serious dependence on the development of roads in some localities. When it comes to construction of projects, it is accustomed to' get on the bus first and then make a replacement ticket ', and often requires that the environment be' letting go 'and implement the decision of the state on decision-making and deployment Doing work.
In addition, there are some local governments in the process of pollution fraud by the inspectors named.
For example, the Tianjin Jinghai Water Authority was exposed as a result of coping with environmental protection inspectors, preparing meeting minutes and operating books, and the impact was very poor.
In addition, the Central Environmental Protection Inspectorate also found some typical and common problems in the process of entering the 31 provinces.
According to the introduction of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, the common problems discovered by inspectors are reflected in six aspects: First, the problems of atmosphere and water environment are prominent in some areas; second, the construction of infrastructure for environmental governance lags behind seriously; thirdly, some nature reserves violate the approval and illegal construction; Fourth, over-exploitation of water resources; Fifth, the problem of industrial pollution is still more prominent; Sixth, the rural environmental problems are more prominent.

'One size fits all' and 'a gust of wind'? MEP responded to the question
While the CPEPC has achieved remarkable results in the past two years, it also raised some concerns and doubts about the work of the inspectors, such as whether there will be a 'gust of windfall' in the rectification of inspections and whether the enterprises will stop and shut down their production of motorcycles and cut across the board.
In response to the voices of doubt, the Ministry of Environmental Protection recently responded one by one.

At the same time, he stressed: 'We have resolutely rectified the inspector's case in those inconvenient cases of indiscriminate and immediate emergency shutdown, suspension of business and other simple and crude methods of coping with the inspectors and giving birth and death to the people.'
This year or will 'look back' to carry out mobile, acupuncture special inspector
Central Environmental Inspectors how to deploy the next step, the outside world is also quite concerned about.
According to Liu Changgen revealed that in 2018 MEP or the first round of inspector rectification situation 'look back', keep an eye on the issue, compaction, to ensure that not a 'gust of wind'.
