Hot sectors cooled by green limits www.chinaview.cn 2003-12-12 10:36:18 BEIJING, Dec. 12 (Xinhuanet) -- China is considering a massive campaign of environmental-impact assessment over enterprises in the overheating steel, aluminum and cement sectors, China Daily reported Friday. The campaign is part of the State Council's soon-to-come package of measures to cool down excessive growth in these sectors,said Zhang Lijun, department director of the State Environment Protection Administration (SEPA). "We will firmly close those enterprises that cannot meet the government's minimum pollution emission standards," Zhang was quoted as saying. Since April this year, the National Development and Reform Commission has continually warned about the speed of growth in some industries concerning cars, steel, aluminum and cement that could have a serious economic impact. Zhang revealed the information at Thursday's wrap-up ceremonies for a three-year pilot project of emissions trading between SEPA and the US Environmental Defense (EDF) organization. Chief economist for the EDF Daniel J. Dudek said the practice can help industrial units tackle the nation's air pollution problems and deliver more information to its environmental protection decision-makers. The pilot program between SEPA and Dudek's organization has been implemented in Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanxi and Henan provinces,Shanghai and Tianjin municipalities and Liuzhou City in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region with great success.
