China: less focus on GDP, more focus on the environment

China's top authorities will unleash a storm in government departments next year by obliging officials to control GDP growth and pay much closer attention to the environment.

Local officials should make protection of the environment a key priority. They no longer have to vie for GDP growth to the exclusion of all else. That is the message the Central Authorities sent during last week's national meeting mapping out economic policies for 2007.

The Central Government listed eight economic priorities for next year, and environmental protection came in in third place, just after economic macro-control measures and agricultural development.

"(All officials) must understand the new priorities, take them on board and do everything they can to achieve a practical improvement in reducing energy consumption and pollution," a statement issued at the conclusion of the Central Economic Work Conference said in unusually stern language.

To prevent further deterioration of the environment, China last year set an energy consumption reduction target of 20 percent in the five years from 2006 to 2010. The 2006 target is four percent down on the previous year.

But officials have failed to fulfil the four percent quota this year. A survey conducted in the first half of the year found that energy consumption was rising instead of tumbling.

Authorities used the words "very hard" to describe the difficulties they are facing in reducing energy consumption to the target level.

China's economy is expected to steam ahead at more than 10 percent in 2006.

The Central Government has decided to make the reduction of energy consumption and pollution the key to restructuring its economy in 2007.

"Cutting energy consumption and pollution is the most effective approach to restructuring our economy and improving our economic efficiency," said Ma Kai, minister in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC).

Analysts said the year 2007 will be vital to achieving the five-year target, and one that must yield visible results.
