China Clamps down on Environment Violations

China will beef up environmental law enforcement as the country's toughest environment protection law will take effect next year, authorities said Thursday.

The State Council General Office recently issued a circular which set a timetable for four major tasks that local governments are required to complete by the end of 2016. 

Local governments are required to scrap local rules that hinder environment law enforcement by June 2015, and complete a thorough environmental inspection as well as set up a supervision mechanism by the end of 2015. All illegal construction projects should be corrected or cancelled by the end of 2016.
