Summary
On April 28, 2016, the General Office of the State Council issued the Opinions on Improving the Compensation Mechanism for Ecological Protection (GBF [2016] No. 31).
The Opinions emphasized that we should firmly establish the concept of innovation, coordination, green, open and shared development, constantly improve the transfer payment system, explore the establishment of a diversified ecological protection compensation mechanism, gradually expand the scope of compensation, reasonably improve the compensation standard, effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole society to participate in ecological environment protection, and promote the construction of ecological civilization to a new level.
The Opinions put forward that, in accordance with the principle of "unified rights and responsibilities, reasonable compensation, government led, social participation, overall planning, transitional development, pilot first, and steady implementation", efforts should be made to implement ecological protection compensation tasks in key areas such as forests, grasslands, wetlands, deserts, oceans, water flows, and cultivated land.
By 2020, achieve full coverage of ecological protection compensation in the above key areas, prohibited development areas, key ecological functional areas and other important areas, and the compensation level should be consistent with the economic and social development situation. Remarkable progress has been made in the pilot demonstration of cross regional and cross basin compensation. A diversified compensation mechanism has been initially established, and basically establish an ecological protection compensation system that conforms to China's national conditions.
The Opinions clearly stated that seven aspects of system and mechanism innovation will be promoted:
First, establish a stable investment mechanism, raise funds through multiple channels, and increase protection and compensation.
Second, improve the compensation mechanism for key ecological areas, delimit and strictly observe the ecological protection red line, and study and formulate relevant ecological protection compensation policies.
Third, promote horizontal ecological protection compensation, and study and formulate a horizontal ecological protection compensation mechanism that focuses on local compensation and is supported by the central government.
Fourth, improve the supporting system, improve the measurement method based on the output capacity of ecological products, and accelerate the establishment of the ecological protection compensation standard system.
The fifth is to innovate the policy coordination mechanism, and study and establish a new mechanism to promote ecological environment protection through the coordination of ecological environment damage compensation, ecological product market transaction and ecological protection compensation.
Sixth, combine ecological protection compensation to promote targeted poverty alleviation, innovate the use of funds, carry out pilot ecological comprehensive compensation in poor areas, and explore new ways of ecological poverty alleviation.
Seventh, accelerate the construction of the rule of law, and constantly promote the institutionalization and legalization of ecological protection compensation.
Comments
The implementation of ecological protection compensation is an important means to mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties and protect the ecological environment, and is an important part of the construction of the ecological civilization system.

10、 The central government's deep reorganization deliberated and approved the Reform Plan of the Mining Right Transfer System and the Reform Plan of the Mineral Resource Rights and Interests System
Summary
On December 30, 2016, the Central Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform deliberated and adopted the Reform Plan of the Mining Right Transfer System, the Reform Plan of the Mineral Resource Equity System and other documents at its 31st meeting.
The meeting stressed that improving the transfer system of mining rights is an important guarantee to safeguard the rights and interests of the national owners of mineral resources. It is necessary to promote the competitive transfer of mining rights, strictly restrict the transfer of mining rights by agreement, adjust the approval authority of mining rights, and strengthen the transfer supervision services. We should take the maintenance and realization of the basic rights and interests of the country's mineral resources as the core, straighten out the tax and fee system for mineral resources, rationally regulate the income from mineral resources, and establish a new system of mineral resources rights and interests that conforms to China's characteristics.
Among them, in terms of the reform of the mineral resources equity fund system, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Land and Resources jointly studied and drafted the Reform Plan of the Mineral Resources Equity Fund System (draft for comments) in October 2015, which proposed the framework and main contents of the mineral resources equity fund system, as well as supporting reform policies.
The specific contents of the Plan include:
First, in the link of mining right transfer, improve the system of mining right transfer, further expand the scope of competitive transfer of mining right, cancel the price of exploration right and mining right, and collect the income from mining right transfer. It is suggested that the sharing ratio between the central finance and the local finance should be set at 5:5.
Second, in the mining right occupation link, the exploration right use fee and the mining right use fee are adjusted to the mining right occupation fee. Those who occupy the mining right and engage in mineral resource exploration and mining pay the mining right occupation fee according to law. The mining right occupation fee shall be collected annually by the financial department together with the department in charge of mineral resources according to the area occupied and the quota of unit area. They shall be paid to the central and local coffers at a ratio of 2:8 and shared by the central and local finance.
Third, in the mining sector, mineral resources compensation fees should be appropriately incorporated into the resource tax, and the resource tax system should be improved.
Fourth, in the link of mine environmental governance and recovery, the deposit for mine environmental governance and recovery was cancelled, a fund for mine environmental governance and recovery was established, a dynamic regulatory mechanism was established, and the cost of environmental governance was internalized to enable mining enterprises to truly fulfill their responsibilities for mine environmental governance and ecological restoration. Mining enterprises need to set up separate accounting subjects. According to the requirements of mine environmental governance and ecological recovery, they should draw a certain proportion of the sales revenue for mine environmental governance and recovery funds, which should be included in the enterprise costs. The funds drawn should be used by enterprises to carry out mine environmental protection and comprehensive governance.
The supporting reform policies proposed in the Plan include:
First, the mining right occupation fee and the income from the transfer of mining right shall be included in the general public budget management, and shall be used by the finance departments at all levels for geological survey and ecological protection and restoration.
Second, the policy of converting the price of mining rights of geological prospecting units into capital was canceled.
The third is to cancel the policy of making up the price of gold mining rights that have been transferred to national capital.
Comments
Promoting the competitive transfer of mining rights, strictly restricting the transfer of mining rights by agreement, adjusting the approval authority of mining rights, strengthening the transfer supervision service, and improving the transfer system of mining rights are important guarantees for safeguarding the rights and interests of national owners of mineral resources. With the core of safeguarding and realizing the basic rights and interests of the country's mineral resources, the introduction of the document will straighten out the tax and fee system of mineral resources and reasonably adjust the income of mineral resources, and establish a new system of mineral resources rights and interests in line with China's characteristics.
