Two companies included in Jiangsu Province’s first list of enterprises exempt from production restrictions 2018-12-17 Source: Sinopec News Network. According to a report from Sinopec News Network, Jiangsu Province recently released the first list of enterprises exempt from production restrictions as part of the measures taken to manage production during the autumn and winter seasons as well as in cases of severe air pollution. A total of 200 enterprises across the province met the criteria for such exemptions, and Yizheng Chemical Fibers and Yangzi Petrochemical-BASF Co., Ltd. are among them. To further advance the reform of \"delegating power, streamlining administration, and improving services\" in the field of ecological environment, to implement differentiated measures for staggered production in a scientific manner, to encourage enterprises to take proactive actions to control pollution, and to achieve high-quality development in both economic and environmental aspects, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment has formulated the \"Interim Measures for the Management of Staggered Production and Exemptions from Production Restrictions during Autumn and Winter and in Cases of Severe Pollution Weather in Jiangsu Province\". The measures stipulate that enterprises whose pollution emission levels are significantly better than those of other companies in the same industry or those involved in providing essential services for the public may be exempt from suspension or reduction of production during the seasonal production scheduling measures implemented in Jiangsu Province in autumn and winter, provided that they meet the environmental management requirements and emit within the allowed limits. Similarly, during emergency control measures taken in response to severe pollution, such enterprises may be exempt from suspension of production when a higher level of warning response would otherwise require it; instead, they shall only have their production reduced to the minimum required level. It is understood that exemptions from production restrictions are applied for on an annual basis. To date, following procedures such as enterprise applications, preliminary reviews by counties and cities, and municipal re-evaluations and public announcements, a total of 200 enterprises across the province have met the requirements for such exemptions, and they have been included in the first list of enterprises eligible for exemptions related to staggered production during autumn and winter, as well as emergency control measures during periods of severe air pollution.

To further advance the reform of \"delegating power, streamlining administration, and improving services\" in the field of ecological environment, to implement differentiated measures for staggered production in a scientific manner, to encourage enterprises to take proactive actions to control pollution, and to achieve high-quality development in both economic and environmental aspects, the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment has formulated the \"Interim Measures for the Management of Staggered Production and Exemptions from Production Restrictions during Autumn and Winter and in Cases of Severe Pollution Weather in Jiangsu Province\".

Similarly, during emergency control measures taken in response to severe pollution, such enterprises may be exempt from suspension of production when a higher level of warning response would otherwise require it; instead, they shall only have their production reduced to the minimum required level. Exemptions from production restrictions are applied for on an annual basis. To date, following procedures such as enterprise applications, preliminary reviews at the county and city levels, and municipal re-evaluations and public announcements, a total of 200 enterprises across the province have met the requirements for such exemptions, and they have been included in the first list of enterprises eligible for exemptions related to staggered production during autumn and winter, as well as emergency control measures during periods of severe air pollution. Among them, there are 84 enterprises in the power and heat supply sector, 25 enterprises dealing with waste and hazardous waste disposal, 19 enterprises in key industries such as steel, cement, coking, and casting that have leading emission levels, 64 enterprises in strategic emerging industries, and 8 enterprises related to major livelihood issues. Next, the Department of Ecology and Environment will publish another list of enterprises eligible for exemptions, in line with the principle that such enterprises should have a higher level of pollution control compared to other companies in the same industry; it is hoped that qualified enterprises across the country will apply actively. At the same time, environmental protection agencies at all levels will implement these measures in accordance with the list of enterprises eligible for exemptions, during the periods of staggered production and during emergency control measures in cases of severe air pollution. Should any enterprise be found to be engaging in fraud or having serious violations such as excessive emissions during production, its exemption will be revoked immediately, and it will also lose the right to apply for an exemption in the following year.
If safety and environmental protection are properly ensured, support can be provided; this is where the benefits of safety and environmental protection become evident
