China's environmental watchdog has approved two action plans, vowing to further crack down on the smuggling of overseas garbage while maintaining a tough stance against pollution caused by the processing of imported waste.
中国环境监管部门近日通过了两项行动方案，表示将进一步打击走私洋垃圾，同时保持对加工洋垃圾造成的污染问题的高压态势。
"The ban on foreign garbage imports is a landmark measure for the country's construction of an ecological civilization and should be implemented unswervingly and effectively," the Ministry of Ecology and Environment said in an online statement.
生态环境部在一份网上声明中表示：“禁止洋垃圾入境是我国生态文明建设的标志性举措，要坚定不移、不折不扣地落实好这项工作。”
While vowing to improve China's capabilities in solid waste pollution control, it also said a long-term working procedure featuring information sharing and coordinated law enforcement will be established.
在承诺提升我国固体废物污染防治水平的同时，生态环境部还表示要加大信息共享及联动执法力度，建立长效工作机制。
"The border controls on illegal foreign garbage will be intensified and the entire process in the industry will be inspected," it said.
生态环境部称：“对非法洋垃圾的边境管制将会加强，行业的整个过程将受到检查。”
The ministry also said it will ensure adequate resources and manpower for the inspection campaign on imported waste processing by coordinating local government bodies.
此外，该部门还表示，将通过协调地方政府机构，确保对进口废物处理的检查工作提供充足的资源和人力。
"A tough stance will be kept in the problem-oriented campaign to crack down on enterprises with environmental violations," the statement said.
该声明指出：“在这一以问题为导向的工作中，将采取强硬立场，对有环境违规行为的企业进行打击。”
