The 7th Global Petrochemical Supply Chain Summit was held by Sinopec Publishing House from May 7-9, 2021, and M&A attended and participated in the summit.
2021 is an important moment for chemical management legislation. The revised draft of the "Safety Production Law" has been submitted to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for consideration, and the draft of the "Dangerous Chemicals Safety Law" has been submitted to the Ministry of Justice for comments among various ministries and commissions of the State Council.
The Yangtze River Protection Law, which has a significant impact on the transportation of chemicals and the layout of the chemical industry, came into effect in March. In April, the Ministry of Transport issued a public consultation on the Provisions on the Administration of Road Transportation of Dangerous Goods (Revised Draft).
On the other hand, the construction of the rule of law in chemicals has formed an active situation where multiple parties work together and display their strengths. For example, the Hainan Provincial Emergency Management Department formulated the "Regulation on the Management of Inspection and Protection Measures for Hazardous Chemicals Enterprises" and other local standards, which were officially implemented in March this year, filling some gaps in China's technical specifications for hazardous chemical safety supervision.
This summit focuses on industry development, current situation, international policies, sharing insights and discussing the future of chemical law.
