我国排污许可制度的立法定位与立法需求——对制定排污许可管理条例的法律思考(续)

The Orientation of China's Pollutant Discharge Permit System and Its Legislative Requirements

对排污许可制度作出科学定位是完善排污许可制度的重要前提。长期以来,我国排污许可制度仅仅被视为实现总量控制的一项措施,使得排污许可制度的功能受到严重限制。为了充分发挥排污许可制度的功能,排污许可制度已被明确定位为固定污染源环境管理的核心制度。上述定位具体体现在两个方面,一是排污许可制度的内部整合,二是排污许可制度的外部衔接。鉴于排污许可立法的滞后,排污许可制度定位的转变提出了新的立法需求。国务院应尽快制定排污许可管理条例,为实现排污许可制度作为固定污染源环境管理核心制度的定位提供法律保障。

Making a scientific orientation of the pollutant discharge permit system is an important prerequisite for improving the pollutant discharge permit system. For a long time, China＇s pollutant discharge permit system has only been considered as a measure to control the total amount of pollutants, making the function of pollutant discharge permit system severely restricted. In order to fully utilize the functions of pollutant discharge permit system, the pollutant discharge permit system has been clearly defined as the core system of environmental management of fixed source pollution. The orientation contains two aspects. One is the internal integration of the pollutant discharge permit system, and the other is the external linkage of the pollutant discharge permit system. Due to the lag of legislation on the pollutant discharge permit system, the change in the orientation of pollutant discharge permit system has been demanding new legislative requirements. The State Council should, as soon as possible, formulate regulations on the management of the pollutant discharge permits in order to provide legal guarantee for the realization of the pollutant discharge permit system as the core system of environmental management of fixed source pollution
