Nanjing, Sinopec’s Corporate Long-Term Withholding of Treatment Costs

“China Sinopec Nanjing Chemical Industrial Group Co., Ltd. Long-term withholding of sewage treatment fees this year, the company’s ‘pay’ to Nanjing is still a ’0 ‘the ’0′ is since 2009 a sewage treatment fee do not pay a single cent of the three ’0 ‘crown. ” The afternoon of December 19, Nanjing, water supply management (microblogging) in a special issue on microblogging complaints, six months ago, fired a hot “South of the companies who refuse to pay 80 million sewage treatment fee” issue again in eyes of the public. Face of the old central rate of “no response” attitude, Nanjing, water supply management to seek the media and public attention for the municipal environmental protection department of the normal operation of “debt collection.”

“‘sewer is the conscience of a city’, according to urban sewage treatment fee is to pay a responsible company should fulfill the statutory obligations, but China Petrochemical Corporation, Nanjing Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. Long-term withholding of sewage treatment fees this year, the company ‘paid’ to Nanjing is still a ’0 ‘and the ’0′ is self- Since 2009, the sewage treatment fee is not paid a penny of the three ’0 ‘crown. “this” debt collection call to arms “water supply management from Nanjing issued in the afternoon of a 19 micro-Bo. Accompanying text also issued a detailed list, circle the red pen this year, Sinopec Nanjing Chemical payment amount column is “0”, while the same as the other large enterprises in Nanjing more than one million dollars are the amount of payment. In addition, Sinopec, listed in the South since 2006, only a handful of several payment records, except in 2007 and 2008 a total of $ 1.3 million payment, the remaining amount of the annual fees are zero. Several “duck” looks very striking.

Then Director of Nanjing Jin Yongjun water saving management telephone call to reporters, which means the Sinopec six months to the south of the “debt collection action” difficult, not only since 2009, the outstanding old accounts, new accounts this year seems a distant dream.

“This year, the collection department of the south door of the company’s ongoing reminders, invite reminders, reminder letters, telephone calls, face to face only up to a dozen calls on July collection departments also organized in conjunction with the financial sector home inspection, but not always the south stand of the company, not promises, but no action of the ‘three no’ attitude towards our work. “Jinyong Jun on the phone in the south of the attitude of the petrochemical very dissatisfied, “the citizens of Nanjing in the price of water contains 1.3 yuan/cubic meter of sewage treatment costs, including water users to pay to the south of the south of the water also contains sewage treatment fee. South of the companies charge anything for sewage treatment non-payment, in fact retain this part of the user to pay to the Government of the sewage treatment fee. ”

This, the reporter interviewed the south of Nanjing, Sinopec spokesman I know the country, he responded, from this year, in the south of the petrochemical plant’s domestic water supply have all been transferred to the Water Industry Co., Ltd. Nanjing Ancient agreement management, not by the corporate management. In addition, the sewage treatment arrears problem, businesses also have a number of communication with relevant departments of the municipal government, and submitted to the Petroleum Corporation, Sinopec, the future program will be released for further processing.

June of this year, the city of Nanjing large heavy pollution remediation efforts, heavy energy-consuming enterprises, Sinopec Nanjing old south of the central enterprises among them. The city is responsible for environmental protection, industry, two deputy mayors, environmental protection departments have visited the company on the serious environmental issues to discuss. During the Nanjing water-saving management also disclosed that as of the end of 2010, the company accumulated refuse to pay arrears of urban sewage treatment fee of about 80 million yuan.

Subsequently, Sinopec Nanjing Chemical arrears on 80 million sewage treatment carried out explanation: As the plant south of inadequate municipal facilities for many years, the company assumed the plant life of the region’s water users for decades the task; The work also collect water means no enforcement, has been seriously delinquent. “Enterprises can not afford the high treatment arrears, need for communication and coordination with relevant departments.”

But now it seems, to “negotiate” the parties have not reached a final “consensus”, companies continue to refuse to pay arrears, and the relevant municipal departments for the company’s “no response” attitude can not do anything. Between this government and enterprises, “Qianzhaihaiqian” I am afraid the dispute turned into a protracted “tug of war.”
