May 8, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology party members, chief engineer Zhang Feng chaired the elimination of backward production capacity work Inter-Ministerial Coordination Group office and make a speech. Zhang requirements, inter-ministerial Coordination group member units to pay close attention to the implementation of the 2017 to eliminate backward production capacity work. The first is to strengthen the Department of Cooperation, according to energy consumption, environmental protection, quality, safety, technology 5 standards to promote backward production exit, the formation of clear responsibilities, and work together to promote the mechanism. Second, the departments should be in accordance with the 2017 key work tasks, clear time node requirements, grasp the pace and intensity of work, and earnestly put the tasks in place. Third, the workers should be placed as the elimination of backward production capacity of the heavy work, with a high degree of responsibility to do a good job placement work. Four is to strengthen supervision and inspection, strengthen social supervision, to prevent the withdrawal of outdated production capacity, to find out the backward capacity of the enterprises to implement joint credit discipline. The five is to further implement the relevant policies to create the survival of the fittest, fair competition in the market environment.
Zhang pointed out that in 2016, the member units of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Group earnestly implement the Central Committee, the State Council's decision-making deployment, the active performance of duties, steel, coal, cement, flat glass and other industries as the focus, strengthen the top-level design, carry out special actions, strengthen law enforcement inspection, improve the supporting policies, more use of market-oriented, legal methods, to promote new progress. The annual elimination of backward ironmaking capacity of 6.77 million tons, steelmaking capacity of 10.96 million tons, electrolytic aluminum production capacity of 320,000 tons, cement clinker production capacity of 5.59 million tons, flat glass production capacity 33.4 million weight box, close 300,000 tons/year below small coal mine more than more than 1500, involving coal production capacity of more than 100 million tons, in order to resolve steel, coal and other industries overcapacity, to promote energy saving and emission reduction played an important role
Zhang stressed that the Central Economic Working Conference and the government work report put forward the new requirement of the marketization of the backward productivity, and the member units of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Group should unify the thought and action to the decision-making of the central Committee and the State Council, fully understand the current situation and requirements of eliminating backward production capacity. First, the marketization of backward production capacity is an important part of the structural reform of the supply side. To capacity is the primary task of pushing forward the structural reform of the supply side, and the elimination of backward capacity is a key to capacity. To make more use of the market and the rule of law methods, resolutely eliminate substandard backward production capacity, in order to develop advanced production capacity and emerging industries to free energy, resources, market space, environmental capacity, and continuously improve the supply quality and efficiency. Second, the marketization of backward production capacity is the inherent requirement of ecological civilization construction. Resource constrained tightening, serious environmental pollution, ecosystem degradation and other prominent problems, has become a comprehensive well-off society short board. Backward production capacity of energy consumption, pollution emissions, serious damage to ecological environment, safe production conditions, product quality is not guaranteed, to the people's lives and property left a great hidden trouble, not in line with the requirements of ecological civilization construction, should be eliminated according to law. Third, market-oriented legalization of the elimination of backward production capacity is the State Council's clear request. The Central Economic Work Conference proposed that strict implementation of environmental protection, energy consumption, quality, safety and other relevant laws and standards.
"Government work Report" put forward, strict implementation of environmental protection, energy consumption, quality, safety and other relevant laws and regulations and standards, more use of market-based legal means, resolutely eliminate substandard backward production capacity. The "guidance on the use of comprehensive standards to promote backward production capacity by law according to Regulations", issued jointly by the member units of the Interministerial Coordinating Group, is to implement the specific measures of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, and earnestly implement them.
