To precisely identify the rule-of-law demands of Yixing's environmental protection industry in both domestic and international development, fully leverage the legal supervision functions of procuratorial organs, empower business environment optimization through the rule of law, and effectively serve and safeguard the high-quality development of the environmental protection industry, on the morning of May 26, Yang Limin, Party Leadership Group Secretary and Chief Procurator of the Yixing Municipal People's Procuratorate, led a team to the Yixing Green and Low-Carbon Industry Association to conduct special research.

Jiang Jiezhong, President of the Association; heads of key environmental protection enterprises including Xijiu Environmental Protection, Taiyuan Environmental Protection, Xinlin Environmental Protection, Xingchen Environmental Protection Group, Tongyong Environmental Protection Group, and Guohe Base; and the Association's legal counsel from Yingke Law Firm attended the meeting. The research meeting was chaired by Xu Linlan, Executive Secretary-General of the Association. Jiang Yafang and Zhao Yutao, Party Leadership Group members and special members of the Procuratorial Committee of the Municipal People's Procuratorate, along with heads of relevant departments including Public Interest Litigation, Civil and Administrative, Economic Crime Procuratorial, Research Office, and Office, also participated in the research.






Proactively Going Down to Solicit Needs, Jointly Discussing the Rule-of-Law Business Environment


At the symposium, Chief Procurator Yang Limin pointed out that Yixing's environmental protection industry has a profound foundation, and enterprises are actively integrating into domestic and global green governance, making important contributions to the high-quality development of Yixing's economy. Procuratorial organs proactively connecting with industry rule-of-law demands, focusing on rule-of-law bottlenecks and difficulties in domestic operations and foreign-related development, and carrying out precise legal supervision and targeted judicial services are the duties and responsibilities of procuratorial organs in serving the high-quality development of local industries.

Association President Jiang Jiezhong extended a warm welcome to the procuratorate team for proactively going down to solicit needs. He systematically introduced the fifty-year development history and current status of Yixing's environmental protection industry, and elaborated on the Association's functions in serving the industry and connecting enterprises. Jiang Jiezhong stated that this research fully reflects the procuratorial organs' great attention to the development of the environmental protection industry and will certainly inject more rule-of-law momentum into the healthy development of the environmental protection industry.


Focusing on Rule-of-Law Concerns, Efficient and Pragmatic Exchange



During the exchange session, enterprise heads and legal counsel spoke one after another, with a warm atmosphere and in-depth interaction. Combining their own personal experiences and typical cases in production and operations and in the process of "going global," entrepreneurs candidly reflected their demands and put forward suggestions regarding domestic rule of law, foreign-related rule of law, and deepening procuratorate-enterprise exchanges.

In terms of domestic rule of law

Enterprises concentrated on reflecting difficulties in case filing and enforcement, unified jurisdiction and adjudication standards, the intellectual property protection environment, the reasonableness and warmth of administrative penalties, malicious litigation and excessive property preservation, and the demarcation between environmental violations and crimes. They suggested that procuratorial organs strengthen legal popularization support and risk warning, and explore more flexible and moderate ways of handling enterprise-related cases.


the field of foreign-related rule of law

Leading enterprises in the Association are mainly deployed in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other regions, facing practical challenges such as judicial transparency in host countries, enforcement of arbitral awards, and alignment of quality standards. They hoped that procuratorial organs would assist in connecting foreign-related legal resources and promote the establishment of a dispute resolution prediction mechanism and guidelines for mutual recognition of standards.


Prosecutor-Enterprise Communication

Enterprises put forward specific suggestions such as establishing an industry legal risk warning mechanism, paying attention to the issue of "excessive preservation" and exploring supervision and relief channels, and setting up a "Procuratorate-Enterprise Express" liaison station at the Association, so as to form a normalized rule-of-law protection mechanism.



Precisely Listening and Responding, Building Procuratorate-Enterprise Consensus



Heads of the Public Interest Litigation Procuratorial Department and the Civil and Administrative Procuratorial Department of the Municipal People's Procuratorate introduced their departmental functions and responsibilities in turn, and responded one by one to concerns raised by enterprises on site, including jurisdictional disputes, enforcement rights protection, intellectual property protection, and legal support, conducting in-depth discussions and carefully recording and sorting out common legal difficulties in the industry, laying the foundation for subsequent precise performance of duties and supervision.

Chief Procurator Yang Limin summarized the results of this research with "three ones": gaining a clear understanding of one industry, deeply appreciating the profound accumulation and innovative vitality of Yixing's environmental protection industry over fifty years; building one platform, establishing a normalized communication and liaison channel between the procuratorate and enterprises through the bridge of the industry association; and clarifying one direction, namely, in the next step, targeting the prominent problems concentratedly reflected by enterprises, strengthening procuratorial supervision in accordance with the law, promptly submitting research and analysis reports, and promoting the transition from handling individual cases to industry governance.

She emphasized that procuratorial organs will always adhere to safeguarding industrial development with the power of the rule of law, perform supervision duties in accordance with the law, and effectively create a stable, fair, transparent, and predictable rule-of-law environment for enterprise development.


Taking Research as a Starting Point, Jointly Building a New Platform to Protect Enterprises以调研为起点,共筑护企新平台

This research is a pragmatic measure taken by the Municipal People's Procuratorate to proactively serve the high-quality development of the environmental protection industry. In the next step, both the procuratorate and enterprises will take this research as an opportunity, rely on the Association platform to explore and establish a "Procuratorate-Enterprise Express" liaison mechanism, promote precision drip irrigation of rule-of-law services, and help Yixing environmental protection enterprises achieve steady and far-reaching development on the domestic and international stages.

The Association stated that it will continue to serve well as an "assistant to the government, promoter of the industry, and helper to enterprises," cooperate with procuratorial organs in legal risk prevention and control, compliance guidance, and other work, and jointly create a better rule-of-law environment for the development of Yixing's environmental protection industry.
