Facilities Announcement” has been published. On November 17, 2007, the State
Council approved three plans, including “The Implementation Plan for a Statisti-
cal Indicator Using Energy Consumption Per Unit GDP” and three methods,
including “A Statistical Approach for Calculating Total Emissions of Major
Pollutants”. A pollution reduction roadmap has been released that includes tech-
nological solutions, safeguards and a management system. This outline adheres to
three core principles, including the application of four inspection standards and
the establishment of nine regulatory institutions. It also builds an operational
mechanism and management system for emissions reduction, which includes
promoting three measures, establishing three systems and controlling the three
links.
1. The Three Principles refer to base dilution, incremental settlement and reduction
verification. This approach is conducive to the task of compiling energy-saving
statistics as well as conducting monitoring, evaluation and other work. It also
helps to implement quality control and scientific statistical analysis of all data
regarding energy conservation and emissions reduction. The problem of data
resources has also been solved.
2. The Three Technical Measures achieve emissions reduction through engineer-
ing, structural adjustment and management. Engineering is used to reduce
emissions through the construction of pollution control projects. The Ministry
of Environmental Protection has prompted local governments to speed up the
construction of pollution control projects through rigorous evaluation and veri-
fication of reduction facilities, harsh inspection and punishment, timely notices
and warnings, and other measures.
3. The three major systems include a scientific pollution-reduction index, accurate
emissions monitoring and a strict emissions-reduction inspection system.
The main features of the scientific pollution-reduction index are: use of a
scientific method,
independently verified results, accurate data and strong
