The State Council has approved the “Suggestions Concerning the Further Promotion of Comprehensive Resources Utilization” submitted by the State Economic and Trade Commission， the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration. It is hereby transmitted for your earnest implementation.

With the growth in population and development of the economy， the contradiction that the resources of the country are relatively inadequate will become increasingly prominent. The principle of resources development and economy must be upheld simultaneously， putting economy first. Economy and rational utilization of all resources must be practiced and reduction in occupation and consumption of resources by all means in the fields of production， construction， circulation and consumption.

Comprehensive utilization of resources constitutes a major technological and economic policy of the country， and it is also a long-term strategic policy in national economic and social development， and is of significance in economy of resources， improvement of the environment and economic efficiency， promoting the transformation of the mode of economic growth from the extensive type to the intensive type and the realization of the optimal disposition of resources and sustainable development. All regions and departments must pay full attention to it and adhere to the policy of “adaptation to local conditions， encouragement of exploitation， employment of multi-channels， striving for practical benefits， achieving breakthrough in major areas and promoting gradual extension”， actively promote comprehensive resources utilization and economy of resources and strive for the upgrading of the level of resources comprehensive utilization and promotion of the healthy development of the national economy and social undertakings in compliance with the principle of the combination of comprehensive resources utilization with the development of enterprises， prevention and control of pollution， and the unification of economic results， environmental and social effect.

Appendix： Suggestions Concerning the Further Promotion of Comprehensive Resources Utilization

Since the issuance of the “Circular of the State Council on the Approval and Transmission of 'the Interim Rules Concerning the Questions Relating to Comprehensive Resources Utilization' of the State Economic Commission”， under the encouragement and guidance of the state policy， considerable achievements have been made in comprehensive resources utilization in our country. However， there still universally exist such problems as high resources consumption， low resources utilization ratio， low comprehensive waste utilization and low degree of harmless treatment. To suit the requirements of the transformation of the mode of economic growth and the implementation of the sustainable development strategy and promote comprehensive resources utilization， the following suggestions are hereby put forth：

1. Range of Comprehensive Resources Utilization

Comprehensive resources utilization mainly cover the comprehensive development and rational exploitation of paragenetic or associated mines in the mining process； the recycling and rational utilization of waste residue， wastewater， waste gas， surplus heat and surplus pressure from the production process； collection and regenerative utilization of all kinds of waste and used materials produced in the process of social production and consumption. The “Catalogue of Comprehensive Resources Utilization” shall be published jointly by the State Economic and Trade Commission in conjunction with the State Planning Commission， the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration， which can be amended in the light of actual conditions.

2. Implementation of Preferential Policies for Encouraging and Supporting Enterprises in the Active Promotion of Comprehensive Resources Utilization

The scope of enjoyment of preferential policies shall be those as laid down in the “Catalogue of Comprehensive Resources Utilization”。 The existing preferential taxation policy of the state relating to comprehensive resources utilization finds its expressions mainly in the following documents： “Circular on a Number of Preferential Policies Concerning Enterprise Income Tax”， “Circular on the Continued Implementation of the Preferential Policy in Value-added Tax for Part of Products from Comprehensive Resources Utilization”， “Circular on the Continued Implementation of the Preferential Policy in Value-added Tax for Enterprises Operating in the Collection of Waste and Used Materials” and “Circular on the Publication of the Notes of Taxation Items and Rates of 'Comprehensive Resources Utilization and Warehousing Facilities' of the Regulatory Tax for Fixed Assets Investment Direction”。 The State shall further study and formulate other preferential policies for comprehensive resources utilization relating to price， investment， finance and credit. The reduction and exemption in tax（charge） money gained by enterprises from relevant preferential policies shall be used for the special purpose of comprehensive resources utilization.

All regions and departments concerned shall provide key support for projects of comprehensive resources utilization of enterprises and list those projects on a priority basis. Banks shall give positive support in arranging loans in accordance with the credit policy. Management of funds for comprehensive resources utilization shall be strengthened and efficiency in fund utilization improved.

3. Enhancement of Comprehensive Resources Development and Rational Utilization， Prevention of Waste in Resources and Environment Pollution

（1） In the prospecting and mining of mineral resources， there must be unified planning and comprehensive exploration， evaluation， mining and exploitation of paragenetic or associated mines having the value of development and exploitation. The geological exploration reports of the geological prospecting departments shall contain a chapter（section） on comprehensive resources utilization； the mine designing departments shall present feasible proposals for the collection and exploitation of paragenetic or associated mines while deciding on the plan for the mining of major mineral.

（2） Installations for comprehensive resources utilization at a construction project must be designed， built and brought into operation together with the principal part of the project. For projects with a possibility of comprehensive utilization， the project proposals， feasibility study reports and preliminary designs shall all contain contents of comprehensive resources utilization， otherwise no examination and approval shall be given by the departments concerned.

（3） Enterprises shall actively promote comprehensive utilization of wastes from the production processes. Those which do not have the required conditions for utilization shall support other units in the promotion of comprehensive utilization and give appropriate subsidy for loading and transporting to the enterprises exploiting the wastes. Enterprises providing exploitable wastes and enterprises exploiting the wastes should sign long term supply-and-demand contracts and strictly carry out the contracts. Enterprises providing exploitable wastes shall not collect charges from enterprises exploiting the wastes for unprocessed or dumped industrial solid wastes； for processed industrial solid wastes， enterprises providing exploitable wastes may charge a certain amount of expenses from enterprises exploiting the wastes according to the processing cost and quality and in accordance with the principle that benefits of enterprises exploiting the wastes shall be greater than those of the enterprises providing exploitable wastes.

（4） The departments of construction administration shall， by means of building design standards， construction standards and requirements， render active support to enterprises in the promotion of new-type wall building materials produced through utilizing wastes. Neither new construction nor expansion of solid clay brick factories shall be permitted within the parameter of 20 kilometers of the piling sites of coal dust or gangue； solid clay brick factories and other building materials enterprises already in existence must use a certain percentage of coal dust and gangue in the production of solid clay bricks， if they have the necessary conditions； a certain percentage of coal dust must be used inroad-building， dam construction and port-construction projects.

（5） All departments of industries administration shall work out standard quotas for water consumption and plans of economy of water for their respective industries， adopt measures of circulated use of water and multiple uses of the same water to improve the rate of repetition in water use. In areas where there are shortage of water resources， development of industries of high water consumption shall be strictly restricted and the feasibility study reports of new construction projects of high water consumption must include special demonstration on water use.

4. Adoption of Measures in Support of the Production of Electricity and Heat by Comprehensive Exploitation Power Plants

Rates of grid electricity from comprehensive exploitation power plants shall， in principle， be determined according to the principle of same grid， same quality and same rate， and peak rate may be adopted where conditions are ripe； where due to such special circumstances as over high cost， the principle of same grid， same quality and same rate cannot be followed， separate rate can be fixed and proposals put forward by the comprehensive exploitation power plants in consultation with the enterprises operating the grid and submitted to departments of price administration at the provincial level and above for examination and approval in accordance with relevant provisions of the state. Expenses incurred from purchasing the electricity from comprehensive exploitation power plants by the grid can be included in its cost as the basis for the adjustment of rate of electricity sold by the grid. The amount of electricity mutually supplied between a comprehensive exploitation power plant and the grid at the same measurement point can be settled monthly by mutual setoff. Electricity generated by comprehensive exploitation power plants shall not be included in the national distribution plan but can be used for internal adjustment. The electricity departments shall not deduct and reduce the planned targets of electricity supply to the enterprise.

Comprehensive exploitation power plants with an installed generating capacity under 12000 kw（inclusive） shall not join peak adjustment of the grid； comprehensive exploitation power plants with an installed generating capacity above 12000 kw may have an arrangement of certain amount for peak adjustment and are permitted to have full peak generation but， during the low period generation， payload shall not be lower than 85% of the rated capacity of the generation equipment.

5. Enforcement of Strict Administration to Ensure the Collection， Recycling and Exploitation of Waste and Used Materials
