New rules for assessors

CHINA has revised regulations on environmental impact assessors to combat corruption, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said yesterday.

The regulations prohibit any enterprises funded by environmental authorities or their affiliates from being accredited as assessment agencies.

They also tighten supervision over environment impact assessments, including raising fines, holding both agencies and practitioners accountable for wrongdoing, and making the process more transparent.

Cheng Lifeng, director of the ministry’s environmental impact assessment department, said the regulation was a response to criticism of discipline inspectors following an inspection in February.
