On March 2, the Chamber of Commerce of Environmental Effectiveness of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce called for the implementation of the Green Assistance Plan, the establishment of special funds or funds for drinking water equipment in financial schools to support the internationalization of environmental protection, and the supply of green financial preferential policies, etc. to encourage environmental protection companies to go out in various ways.
On the eve of the two National Conferences, Luo Jianhua, Secretary-General of the Environmental Effectiveness Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, indicated to the First Financial and Economic Daily that a number of proposals drafted by the Chamber of Environmental Commerce would be submitted to the upcoming Second Session of the Twelfth CPPCC as a group proposal of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce.
Internationalization is the inevitable choice
Luo Jianhua introduced that since the Tenth Five-Year Plan, China's energy-saving rural drinking water equipment and environmental protection industry has rapidly opened. According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection, China's environmental protection industry has about 24,000 employees in 2011, 400 listed environmental protection companies, with an annual operating income of about 3 trillion yuan, and the annual compound addition rate of operating income from 2004 to 2010 has reached 30%.
During the 12th Five-Year Plan period, China will cultivate and open up strategic new industries to an important level of transformation of economic opening methods and industrial restructuring. Energy-saving and environmental protection industries are listed as the top seven strategic new industries. The estimated investment of domestic energy-saving and environmental protection industries will reach 3.1 trillion yuan, which will open strategic new industries and countries. Under the background of domestic economic transformation and industrial restructuring, environmental protection industry will enter a high-speed adding time.
Luo Jianhua told reporters that at that time, foreign environmental protection companies were implementing the global opening strategy, and large-scale environmental ultra-pure water treatment equipment boundary group has entered environmental protection shopping malls in many countries through equity participation or holding. According to EU accounting, the global output value of environmental efficiency industry reached 640 billion US dollars in 2010, and the global total output value of environmental protection industry reached 2.3 trillion US dollars.
The analysis of the Chamber of Environmental Commerce shows that with the promotion of urbanization, the construction of environmental protection equipment in large and medium-sized cities in China is gradually becoming more and more abundant. Over the past 10 years, the state has invested a lot of money in the treatment of environmental pollution, and further increased the immediate construction of urban environmental infrastructure equipment.
By the end of September 2013, 3501 municipal wastewater treatment plants have been built in cities and counties nationwide. The capacity of sewage disposal is about 147 million cubic meters per day, 161 more than at the end of 2012, and about 4.5 million cubic meters per day. In 2012, the uniform workload rate of municipal wastewater treatment plants reached 82.5%. In 2010, the harmless disposal rate of municipal domestic waste reached 77.9%, and by 2015, counties and counties are planned to have the ability of harmless disposal, with the harmless disposal rate reaching more than 80%. In the future, the adding point of domestic environmental protection industry will shift from engineering creation to environmental equipment operation service.
"China's existing environmental products and engineering talents urgently need to pioneer new shopping malls, and the internationalization of environmental protection industry will become an inevitable choice." Luo Jianhua said that if China's environmental protection companies want to end the leapfrog opening, they must participate in global economic competition and implement the strategy of internationalization opening. In the absence of a thorough international division of labor at that time, they should promote environmental technology and products to international channels and seize the international ring by using the advantages of technology, processing and capital. Maintaining the commanding point of shopping malls, pioneering shopping malls to complete transnational operations.
The information provided by the Chamber of Environmental Commerce to reporters flashed. At that time, China's environmental protection technology was gradually approaching the international level. The grate waste incineration technology had been completed and localized. Ultrafiltration membrane water treatment technology took the lead in sewage disposal, reuse of reclaimed water, desalination of seawater, sludge disposal, waste incineration and flue gas desulfurization and denitrification. In this respect, we have accumulated abundant experience in creating and operating, and have thorough kinds of technology equipments with independent intellectual property rights. We have fostered a number of leading environmental protection companies with independent brand, master intermediate technology and strong market competitiveness.
At that time, China's key environmental protection companies, such as Sander Environment, North Water Control, Longjing Fujian and Hangzhou New Century, have won many orders for overseas environmental protection projects, pioneered shopping malls in Southeast Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America and other countries, and accumulated valuable experience for Chinese environmental protection companies to go out.
Municipal environmental infrastructure equipment early investment funds are widespread, the right to operate as a long-term recovery of costs and security benefits to ensure, generally give priority to the founder of the investment, other companies are difficult to intervene in the late. Therefore, whether we can quickly seize the policy market which is in its infancy and opening time depends on the future plan of China's environmental protection industry and global competitiveness.
Perfecting the Preferential Policy of Going Out
But together with Luo Jianhua, there are still many problems in the internationalization of domestic environmental protection companies. "First of all, foreign political, economic and legal systems, environmental protection professional standards and effective policies need different, project implementation process is facing greater risks." Luo Jianhua introduced that the emission standards of pollutants in developed countries such as the United States and Europe are more stringent than those in China, while some open countries lack environmental standards or implement environmental quality, environmental technology and emission standards different from those in China, which means that the project plan and construction time should be customized according to local environmental needs. The settlement plan shall be implemented in accordance with the terms of the contract for investigation, planning, construction, supervision and purchase of goods of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC).
Luo Jianhua said that overseas countries prefer to use project financing to open environmental protection projects. Besides BOT, PPP and other modes which integrate investment, financing and operation effectiveness are more widely accepted and selected. PFI and domestic companies mostly take part in the construction of environmental protection projects by contracting DB, DBO, EPC, etc. Extending to the front end of investment and financing also requires substantial progress in financial capital strength and project summary processing ability.
In addition, at that time, China's financial, fiscal and taxation support was relatively weak. Environmental companies in the United States, Japan, Canada and Europe dominate the international environmental shopping malls. These countries give companies direct or direct preferential policies such as tax credits, investment and financing guarantees, subsidies or subsidies in the early stage of expanding international markets, in order to reduce the risk of early-stage investment, but China has implemented relatively few preferential policies.
The Proposal on Encouraging Environmental Protection Companies to Go Out through Various Ways drafted by the Chamber of Environmental Commerce proposes to support the creation of environmental public equipment through the establishment of Power-Environment strategic alliances with oil-producing countries in the Middle East, Africa and South America, and the implementation of green assistance loans or grants and engineering assistance.
"When arranging external assistance, priority should be given to energy saving and environmental protection projects. The key is to promote the creation of environmental infrastructure equipment, which is led by large domestic environmental protection companies, and to supply corresponding technical effectiveness and supporting domestic products and equipment." Luo Jianhua said that in addition, special financial funds or funds could be established to support the internationalization of environmental protection. The overseas environmental protection projects are subsidized in a certain proportion by means of loan discount, award instead of subsidy, establishment of overseas environmental protection investment fund, merger and acquisition fund, loss reserve and other methods. Establish overseas environmental protection projects to invest subsidized funds in advance, and to subsidize the pioneering expenses of advance shopping malls in a certain proportion.
The Chamber of Environmental Commerce suggests that we should contact the reform of national investment and financing system, establish overseas investment guarantee mechanism for environmental protection, strengthen the support of promised guarantee arrangements for energy-saving and environmental protection companies with better qualifications, and explore various pawnbroking methods suitable for environmental protection companies, such as internal guarantee and external loan, overseas asset pawnbroking, overseas consumption credit, etc.
In terms of overseas capital operation, the Chamber of Environmental Commerce suggests that the threshold for domestic environmental protection companies to list abroad should be lowered appropriately, the reading process for overseas listing of environmental protection companies should be simplified and standardized, and the supervision of listed companies abroad should be strengthened. Encouraging environmental protection companies to join forces with companies with different types of capital and different business scopes, to go to sea in groups, to invest overseas, to cooperate, merge and acquire, to participate in domestic and foreign environmental protection R&D and equipment manufacturing enterprises, to link strategic resources and promote industrial advancement, especially in technological development, to strengthen the company. Inter-competitiveness.
"We should also improve the scope of application of offshore tax credits for environmental protection companies and avoid two-tier tax payment." Luo Jianhua believes that the government should establish tax credits and local preferential tax policies to ensure that domestic environmental protection companies enjoy local preferential tax policies in the host country when they sign a contract with the countries that encourage them to invest. Referring to the preferential standards of domestic high-tech companies and the policy of R&D fees plus and minus, we formulate preferential tax policies for environmental protection companies to internationalize and open up, so as to reduce the quota tax rate of offshore earnings credits.
