【摘要】：长期以来,对于未报批环境影响评价文件而开工建设的违法行为,我国《环境影响评价法》第31条第1款中的"限期补办手续"之规定,被视为鼓励建设单位违反环境影响评价制度的法律规范,广受学术界和环保部门的诟病。新修订的《环境保护法》第61条专门解决了"限期补办手续"问题,但环保部与地方环保部门在是否依旧适用"限期补办手续"以及如何罚款方面存在很大差异。由于《环境保护法》第61条是专门针对《环境影响评价法》第31条之弊端而新增加的规定,适用其规定,不仅解决了新的一般规定与旧的特别规定之法律选择问题,而且也完全符合立法者的立法意图。由此,对于未报批环境影响评价文件而开工建设的违法行为进行规制,可以考虑不再适用《环境影响评价法》第31条第1款,而是将《环境保护法》第61条与《环境影响评价法》第31条第2款结合适用。
[Abstract]:For a long time, with regard to the illegal act of starting construction without submitting and approving the environmental impact assessment documents, the provisions of the "replacement procedure within a time limit" in Article 31, paragraph 1, of the Environmental impact Assessment Law of China, It is regarded as encouraging construction units to violate the environmental impact assessment system and has been widely criticized by academia and environmental protection departments. Article 61 of the newly amended Environmental Protection Law specifically solves the problem of "supplementary procedures within a specified period of time", but there are great differences between the Ministry of Environmental Protection and local environmental protection departments in whether or not to apply the "supplementary procedures within time limits" and how to impose fines. Since section 61 of the Environmental Protection Act is a new provision specifically aimed at the drawbacks of article 31 of the Environmental impact Assessment Act, the application of its provisions not only solves the problem of the choice of law between the new general provisions and the old special provisions, And also fully in line with the legislative intent of the legislator. As a result, if an illegal act of construction starts without the approval of an environmental impact assessment document is regulated, it may be considered that section 31, paragraph 1, of the Environmental impact Assessment Law will no longer be applicable. Section 61 of the Environmental Protection Act is applied in conjunction with section 31, paragraph 2, of the Environmental impact Assessment Act.
