Protecting Public Welfare and Building a Beautiful China - Prosecutorial Public Interest Litigation Plays a Unique Value in the Construction of Ecological Civilization
2023-10-20
Yang Changshu, a villager from Group 5, Houshao Village, Geyi Town, Taijiang County, Guizhou Province, has been delighted to gather cross regional and cross departmental collaborative protection efforts. Since several nearby polluting enterprises were closed, the previously fruitless loquat trees have blossomed and fruited, entering the flowering period again. For Yang Changshu, public interest litigation prosecution is a somewhat unfamiliar professional term, but he knows that after more than a dozen visits from the procuratorate, the polluting companies no longer smoke and the pungent smell in the air is gone. The Guizhou Taijiang Economic Development Zone, where the polluting enterprises are located, is a provincial-level economic development zone. The planned leading industries are lead-acid batteries, recycled lead, and supporting industry chain enterprises. However, the admission standards for the park are not clear, and five of the introduced enterprises have repeatedly exceeded the emission standards, causing a pungent smell to often permeate the surrounding villages and schools in the park. This clue was handed over by the Supreme People's Procuratorate to the Guizhou Provincial Procuratorate for processing. The Guizhou Provincial Procuratorate quickly established a work team composed of provincial, state, and county level courts, actively consulting with relevant administrative agencies and proposing procuratorial suggestions on rectification measures. The park is a major taxpayer in the county, and how to promote economic development while protecting the environment is a question that the procuratorial organs have been thinking about in handling cases. At the beginning of receiving the clues, the investigating prosecutor was worried that the local government would not support and the work would not be easy to carry out. Unexpectedly, after the prosecution's suggestion was issued, the administrative authorities attached great importance to it. With the joint efforts of the local government and various sectors of society, the park's polluting enterprises were shut down, equipment was dismantled, raw and auxiliary materials were cleared, and five monitoring points were optimized and added, and ecological restoration compensation of 600000 yuan was paid. It is reported that under the promotion of procuratorial suggestions, in response to issues such as the lack of top-level design and unclear admission standards for the development of the park, the Management Committee of Guizhou Taijiang Economic Development Zone has refined admission conditions based on the most advanced process technology and environmental protection technology in China, promoting the sustained, healthy, and high-quality development of the regenerated lead and lead-acid battery industry in the park. The park is a major financial and tax payer in Taijiang County, and the procuratorial organs adhere to serving the overall situation. They not only supervise the administrative organs to fulfill their duties in accordance with the law, but also ensure the healthy development of the local economy, and deeply explore the reasons behind the problems. It is worth praising, "said the relevant person in charge of the Standing Committee of the Taijiang County People's Congress. The keyword 'cohesion and collaboration' has been fully reflected in cross regional ecological environment governance. In the treatment of the ecological environment such as flowing Rivers and Lakes and air, "the upstream and downstream are not synchronized, and the left and right banks do not travel together" has always been a difficult problem. The practice of "sweeping snow in front of the door" cannot solve the problem from the root. The reporter learned that the highest procuratorate and provincial procuratorates focus on serious damage to public welfare, significant social impact, and the level of supervision objects
