The spring breeze blooms in March, and the "two sessions" are the hottest. On March 3rd, at the beginning of the Third Session of the 12th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, thousands of delegates from all over the country gathered in Beijing to discuss state affairs. The proposals and speeches brought by the deputies naturally became the "most eye-catching" and hottest topic in March. And what is the focus of the "two sessions" of the coal industry?

1. Focus on "clean coal" to promote green development and utilization

The Environmental Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce promotes clean and efficient utilization of coal

The Environmental Chamber of Commerce puts forward the following suggestions in the proposal: 1. Formulate technical standards for clean and efficient use of coal and industry access standards. 2. Expanding the scope of elimination of backward coal-using technologies: It is suggested that the State Council should expand the scope of elimination of backward coal-using technologies in the Guidance Catalogue of Industrial Structure Adjustment, such as including all types of fixed-bed gas generators and small-scale coal-fired boilers in the elimination catalogue. 3. Financial support for clean and efficient use of coal: It is suggested that the Ministry of Finance should give fiscal and tax concessions or incentives to the coal-saving amount of centralized and decentralized energy-using projects in industrial parks according to the financial incentives for contracted energy management projects.

China Democratic Construction Association Central Committee: Optimize the coal production capacity structure and implement the strategy of "clean coal"

In this year's proposal on "Optimizing the coal production capacity structure and promoting the transformation and upgrading of the coal industry", China Democratic Construction Association Central Committee suggested that different types of overcapacity problems in the coal industry should be effectively managed, the coal production capacity structure should be optimized, the merger and reorganization of coal enterprises should be promoted, and industrial concentration should be improved. At present, the main contradiction of coal industry is the contradiction between overcapacity and the slowdown of market demand growth. To get out of the predicament, the coal industry must solve the problem of overcapacity.

The Central Committee of the Democratic National Construction Association believes that the strategy of "clean coal" should be actively implemented to promote efficient and clean coal production and consumption. Vigorously promote the integration of coal and electricity, from "transporting coal" to "transmitting electricity", reduce the damage to the environment caused by the scattered use of coal, and promote the efficient use of coal. In addition, the quality standards of coal in the process of production, circulation and use should be improved and strictly enforced, and the use, production and sales of "inferior coal" should be restricted according to law.

Member Liang Jiakun: Promoting Safe, Efficient and Green Development of Coal

Member Liang Jiakun Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Vice President of China Coal Industry Association suggested: (1) increasing support for the construction of large-scale coal bases and large-scale modern mines, focusing on the construction of large-scale modern coal mines, strengthening technical transformation of coal mines, eliminating backward production capacity and equipment, and improving the level of mechanization, automation and informatization of coal mine production; (2) Support the cross-regional, cross-industry and cross-ownership mergers and acquisitions of large enterprises with capital, technology and management advantages, and cultivate and develop comprehensive large-scale energy enterprise groups with coal as the mainstay; (3) Vigorously develop circular economy in mining areas, encourage the construction of circular economy parks, support coal enterprises to develop coal deep processing projects such as integration of coal power and coal coking, and build large-scale pithead power plants and coal gangue power plants to promote the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries; (four) the introduction of fiscal, taxation, credit and other support policies, to promote the use of filling mining, water conservation mining, coal and gas mining and other green mining technologies, to speed up the development and utilization of coalbed methane.

Zhang Wenxue, member of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Kailuan Group, suggested: increase the support for the construction of large coal bases and large modern mines, focus on the construction of large modern coal mines, strengthen the technical transformation of coal mines, eliminate backward production capacity and equipment, and improve the mechanization, automation and informatization level of coal mine production.

support cross-regional, cross-industry and cross-ownership mergers and acquisitions of large enterprises with capital, technology and management advantages, and cultivate and develop comprehensive large-scale energy enterprise groups with coal as the main industry.

vigorously develop circular economy in mining areas, encourage the construction of circular economy parks, support coal enterprises to develop coal deep processing projects such as integration of coal power and coal coking, and build large-scale pit mouth power plants and coal gangue power plants to promote the coordinated development of upstream and downstream industries.

introduce fiscal, taxation, credit and other support policies, promote the use of green mining technologies such as filling mining, water conservation mining, coal and gas mining, and accelerate the development and utilization of coalbed methane.

2. Pay attention to where the smoggy coal enterprises will go

Deputy Hu Shuping: Promote the transformation and upgrading of coal enterprises

Hu Shuping, the monitor of the coal washing class in Pinghu Coal Mine of Fengcheng Mining Bureau, Jiangxi Province, prepared a proposal on the rational use of low calorific value coal to generate electricity and promote the transformation and upgrading of coal enterprises through extensive research. She hopes that coal mining enterprises can change the current relatively depressed situation by developing circular economy.

Commissioner Zhang Wenxue: Complement and improve the relevant coal mine exit policies

Commissioner Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of Kailuan Group Zhang Wenxue suggested: Complement and improve the previous relevant coal mine exit policies. Establish a long-term mechanism for coal mine withdrawal and form a policy mechanism, which is continuous and does not engage in stages. It is suggested to set up a long-term fund for coal mine exit and closure. Coal tax is too heavy, so a part should be set aside as a coal mine transfer fund. Separate the function of enterprises in running society.

Deputy Yi Yongchun: The survival problem of the old state-owned coal enterprises in difficulty needs to be improved urgently

In order to safeguard the interests of employees and maintain social harmony and stability, Yi Yongchun put forward three suggestions: First, establish a mechanism for the old state-owned coal enterprises in difficulty to withdraw from the market and properly resettle employees. For example, "4, 5" workers with low education, old age and single skills are supported by the state and allowed to retire early; For employees under the age of 4 and 5, the state will support them and encourage them to find their own jobs; The second is to reduce the social burden of the old state-owned coal enterprises in difficulty, and reduce the tax and loan interest paid for social responsibility; Third, reduce or exempt all kinds of taxes and fees, such as resource tax, of old state-owned coal enterprises with difficulties, and formulate floating tax rates according to the operating conditions of enterprises, so as to reduce the burden on enterprises, create a living environment for enterprises and retain living posts for employees.

representative bu changsen wrote a prescription for the withdrawal of the old mine

bu changsen said: "enterprises, such as human bodies, are overloaded and lack of nutrition for a long time, which will inevitably lead to illness from overwork." . In view of the above problems, he tried to prescribe a prescription. Prescription: close bankruptcy by policy, solve problems left over from history, and establish a long-term mechanism for closing and converting production

Committee member Jiang Yaodong, vice president of China University of Mining and Technology, suggested: First, appropriately raise subsidy standards. In accordance with the spirit of the central document, extend the subsidy policy of the central government, allocate special funds from the central government, continue to subsidize the wages, medical expenses and necessary logistics operation expenses of retirees from bankrupt coal mines, and appropriately raise the subsidy standards with reference to local economic development level and rising prices.

secondly, support the transfer of logistics facilities such as "four supplies and one industry" in bankrupt coal mines. The central government will fully allocate funds to upgrade the logistics facilities such as "four supplies and one industry" in bankrupt coal mines, make up for historical debts, and make them meet the transfer conditions as soon as possible, so as to facilitate the transfer to the society as soon as possible.

finally, the guarantee subsidy funds for the old coal enterprises are in place. In order to improve the efficiency of the use of funds, the way of allocating subsidy funds is still based on the list of local coal enterprises issued by the central government in 1998, and allocated according to the original channel, so as to facilitate enterprises to receive, earmarking, avoid misappropriation and interception, and improve the efficiency of the use of funds.

3. Focus on the representative of tax reform. There is something to say

Hua Wei Zhang Youxi Bu Changsen: Promote "clearing fees and establishing taxes" and cancel the railway construction fund

Hua Wei believes that the railway construction fund is an emergency policy to deal with the shortage of funds in a specific period and under a special background when the capital market is immature. With the deepening of reform and opening up, modern property rights system and modern enterprise system have been established and improved one after another, especially the gradual maturity of the capital market, the railway construction fund has lost its rationality of existence.

Zhang Youxi said that after the establishment of China Railway Corporation, the main body of railway construction fund collection has changed from a the State Council organization to an enterprise legal person. As a government fund, the railway construction fund continues to be collected by enterprises.

Bu Changsen said that coal transportation in China is "transporting coal from the west to the east" and "transporting coal from the north to the south" due to the occurrence conditions of coal resources. The western and northeastern regions have a large amount of coal transportation and a long transportation distance, and the railway construction funds they undertake far exceed the national average. It is difficult to turn resource advantages into economic advantages, which not only aggravates the structural contradiction between coal supply and demand in China, but also affects the economic development of these regions. In addition, the existence of railway construction fund makes the domestic coal transportation cost high, and the coal price has no competitive advantage compared with imported coal.

Jia Kang: In the environmental tax reform, fee should be changed to tax first.

Member Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, former director of the Institute of Fiscal Science of the Ministry of Finance, secretary of the Party Committee, and president of Huaxia Institute of New Supply Economics, Jia Kang said that the resource tax reform initiated on December 1st last year as a representative event is also a very important source of fiscal revenue increased by the government, so the coverage of the reform of changing stock into deposit price should be expanded. In addition, the consumption tax should be disclosed this year, and its design should be optimized in this respect, so that the consumption tax can provide local governments with some weighty financial resources. In addition, the tax reform in the plan clearly stipulates that it is necessary to speed up the legislation of real estate tax and promote the reform in a timely manner, as well as to promote the environmental tax reform with the first stage as the focus. The reform of these two taxes is mainly the process of completing legislation first, and the legislative process can wait and see.

Zhu Xiaoming, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Shanxi Province: The value-added tax of coal industry was adjusted back from 17% to 13%

Last year, the coal industry in Shanxi Province experienced a "cold winter", which may be difficult to subside in a short time. "It is recommended that the state adjust the value-added tax (in the coal industry) back to 13%." This is a proposal to be put forward by NPC deputy and Zhu Xiaoming, sasac director, Shanxi Province, at this year's two sessions, and it is a targeted measure to "slow down the freezing".
