双语法规之一:《控制污染物排放许可制实施方案》与《排污许可证管理暂行规定》

     2016年11月10日国务院办公厅颁布《控制污染物排放许可制实施方案》开始实施。该方案对未来即将落实的“污染物许可排放制度”进行重新的定义，也是《环境保护法》第四十二条有关排污许可与总量控制要求的延伸与细化。（EHS.CN）

     The Implementation Plan for the Permit System for Controlling Pollutants Emission (hereinafter referred to as the Implementation Plan) was issued by the General Office of the State Council on November 10, 2016, and came into force on the same day. The Implementation Plan has redefined the "pollutant discharge permit system" which will be implemented in the coming future. Meanwhile, it is the extension and refinement of requirements for pollutant discharge permit and total quantity control stipulated in the Article 42 of the Environmental Protection Law.

1、排污许可制度的总体原则 ：

i. Basic principles of the Permit System for Controlling Pollutants Emission

     《方案》提出了以下原则，已在近期颁的若干法规规范中得到体现，自2016年年中以来的环保督查行动中也有不少案例体现了这一方案的指导思路。其指导原则中对企业影响明显的重点，我们原文摘录如下：

     The Implementation Plan has proposed the following principles, which has been embodied in the regulations and rules issued recently. Since the middle of 2016, there have been many cases of environmental protection supervision and inspection, which have reflected the guiding thought of the Implementation Plan. For the focuses of its guiding principles for the enterprise, we extract the original text as followed.

      ◆排污许可制衔接环境影响评价管理制度，融合总量控制制度，为排污收费、环境统计、排污权交易等工作提供统一的污染物排放数据……

      The emission permit system shall connect with the environmental impact assessment administration system, and merge with the total quantity control system, so as to provide unified pollutants emission data for the work such as collection of pollution discharge fee, environment statistics and trading in the right to pollutants emission ……

       ◆公平公正，一企一证。……向企事业单位核发排污许可证，作为生产运营期排污行为的唯一行政许可，并明确其排污行为依法应当遵守的环境管理要求和承担的法律责任义务。

     Fairness and impartiality, and one permit for one enterprise. ……Emission permits shall be issued to enterprises and public institutions as the sole administrative licensing of the pollutants emission in manufacturing and operating period, and, in respect of such pollutants emission, the requirement for environment management they ought to observe in accordance with the law and the legal liability they ought to undertake shall be specified.

      ◆排污许可证是企事业单位在生产运营期接受环境监管和环境保护部门实施监管的主要法律文书。企事业单位依法申领排污许可证，按证排污，自证守法。

      Pollutant discharge permits shall be the major legal instruments by which enterprises and public institutions accept environment supervision in manufacturing and operating period, and the environmental protection departments implement supervision. Enterprises and public institutions shall apply for and obtain emission permits in accordance with the law, emit pollutants according to the permits, and prove the observation of the law by themselves.

      ◆排污许可证申领、核发、监管流程全过程公开……

      The whole process of application for, issuance and supervision of emission permits shall be disclosed……

     上述原则非常清晰地为我们描述了一幅蓝图，未来的许可证的重要性毋庸置疑。那么执行的过程又将如何呢？未来对企业的影响如何？我们在此选择与企业关系密切，且企业需要投入以完成相关工作的条款摘录在此。以供大家未来执行参考。

     The above mentioned principles have clearly described a blueprint for us, and the importance of future licenses is beyond doubt.What will the process of implementation be like? What are the future impacts on the enterprises? Hereby we select some terms that are closely related to the enterprises who shall put into investments to complete relevant works as references for the future implementation.
