Nation to honor environment-friendly projects
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2005-08-16 18:35 China plans to honor a number
of national environment-friendly projects to promote awareness of environmental
protection, said Pan Yue, vice minister of the State Environmental Protection
Administration (SEPA).
The candidates should be engineering projects that have been completed as of
July 31, 2005, within a span of no more than 3 years, Pan said.
China has enacted the Law on Assessment of Environmental Impacts and the
Provisions on the Management of Environmental Protection for Engineering
Projects. But many owners have only attached importance to the examination and
approval of the environmental assessment, rather than taking environmental
protection into consideration when projects are built and go into operation.
Once granted the title of "Environment-friendly Project", it is expected that
these projects will become models of environmental protection, according to the
official.
He said a special board comprised of officials, experts and journalists will
be set up for appraisal work.
