Does the EPA need a certificate of innocence to recruit contract workers?

Need. According to the Civil Servant Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), those with criminal records cannot be employed by public institutions, and those who have received criminal punishment and been expelled from public office cannot be employed as civil servants. Therefore, the EPA needs to prove that they have not committed a crime when recruiting contract workers. The Environmental Protection Bureau is an administrative organ under the municipal government, which is led by the municipal government administratively and guided by the provincial environmental protection department professionally.
