According to the news conference held last Friday, Shandong 's experience in environmental damage compensation has been popularized as a model across the country.
It’s reported that Shandong ranks top in system construction, quantity of the cases, amount of compensation and social influence among the seven pilot provinces that implement ecological and environmental damage compensation system.
As one of the seven pilot provinces, Shandong has been strengthening its organization and leading role, undertaking its independent responsibility, designing the implementation plan and has selected three typical cases for practical exploration, including the “10.21” case of ecological and environmental damage compensation caused by the serious illegal dumping of hazardous wastes in Zhangqiu District of Jinan.
Shandong has set up the consultation working mechanism for ecological and environmental damage compensation and established a “fast track” for solving problems through consultation.
Besides, Shandong has released the first guiding opinions on the trial of such cases in China.
Also, the first provincial-level regulation on the management of compensation money was issued by Shandong to ensure an effective restoration of damaged ecological environment.
Shandong has brought the judicial appraisal of environmental damage into integrated registration and management to promote judicial appraisal agencies to expand the body and take in new blood.
On the basis of the pilot work, a revised reform implementation plan was launched and a leading work group established after the full rolling out of the reform in Shandong province. The amount of member units in the reform has expanded from 14 to 16.
