Is the Environmental Protection Bureau a civil servant or a public institution?

Overview: The Environmental Protection Bureau has both civil servants and business establishments.

1. The Environmental Protection Bureau is a public institution, and its staff include both civil servants and public institutions. The Environmental Protection Bureau is a functional government department with the highest authority related to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. It is under the management of the State Council and is collectively known as the National Ministry of Environmental Protection.

2. Mainly responsible for: formulating national environmental protection guidelines, policies and regulations, and formulating administrative regulations; guiding and coordinating the resolution of major environmental problems in various localities, departments, and across regions and river basins; responsible for environmental monitoring , statistics, information work; formulating environmental monitoring systems and specifications, etc. Business establishment refers to creating or improving production conditions for the country, enhancing social welfare, and meeting the people's cultural, educational, health and other needs.

The reason for the establishment of the Environmental Protection Bureau:

To increase environmental governance, focus on improving environmental quality, implement the strictest environmental protection system, and thoroughly implement air, water, and soil pollution The prevention and control action plan, the communiqué of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee proposed: Implement a vertical management system for monitoring, supervision and law enforcement by environmental protection agencies below the provincial level. Vertical management of supervision and law enforcement means that the top level will face the supervision behavior of the bottom level. For example, the Ministry of Environmental Protection will directly go to local inspections, and the provincial environmental protection department will go to lower-level cities and towns to inspect, and the intensity of interviews and accountability will be increased.

But on the other hand, local environmental supervision rights have not been transferred to the local government, and it is still a territorial management system. Ultimately, it will help form a new model of environmental protection supervision and supervision that combines the main responsibilities of enterprises, local government supervision, and supervision by superior departments, which not only ensures the effectiveness of environmental law enforcement, but also curbs local protectionism.
