6 | China will no longer cap pollution fines for companies in a renewed attempt to address its loose environmental regulations amid mounting public anger over runaway pollution. | Tsy hanarontsarona intsony ny sazy ara-bola natao ho an'ireo orinasa noho ny fandotoana i Shina ao anatin'ilay ezaka izay vaovao hiatrehana ny fepetra momba ny fahasimban'ny tontolo iainana, ao anatin'ny hatezerana tsy mitsaha-mitombo avy amin'ny vahoaka mikasika ny fihazakazaky ny fandotoana. |
7 | The latest move is enshrined in amendments to the national environmental law, which was passed by the country's legislative body last week after a two-year discussion among scholars and officials. | Ny hetsika farany izao dia voasoratra ao anatin'ny fanitsiana ny lalàna nasionaly momba ny tontolo iainana, izay nolanian'ny sampana mpanao lalàna tao amin'ny firenena tamin'ny herinandro lasa, taorian'ny fifanakalozan-kevitra nandritry ny roa taona teo amin'ireo manampahaizana sy ny manampahefana. |
8 | The revised environmental law will come into effect on January 1, 2015. | Ilay lalàna nasiam-panovàna momba ny tontolo iainana dia hiditra hanan-kery manomboka amin'ny 1 Janoary 2015. |
9 | The old law was adopted in 1989. | Tamin'ny 1989 no nolaniana ilay lalàna teo aloha. |
10 | Chinese media have claimed the amendments make the new environmental law the strictest one in 25 years. | Nohamafisin'ny fampahalalam-baovao Shinoa fa ireo fanovàna dia mametraka ilay lalàna vaovao momba ny tontolo iainana ho ny henjana indrindra tato anatin'ny 25 taona. |
11 | The new law lends more power to environmental agencies to use punitive powers to rein in powerful polluters. | Manome fahefana bebe kokoa an'ireo sampan-draharaha misahana ny tontolo iainana hampiasa ny fahefana hanasazy ireo mpandoto matanjaka io lalàna vaovao io. |
12 | It also vows to protect “red lines”, in reference to vulnerable ecology and water sources. | Manome toky ny hiaro ireo “tsipika mena” ihany koa, ilazana ireo loharano sy tontolo voajanahary tandindonin-doza. |
13 | Authorities also hint through the amendment that they would allow more leeway for individuals to take legal action against environmental damages, which still remains a sensitive area of litigation in China. | Afenin'ireo manampahefana ao ambadik'io sazy io ihany koa ny hoe mety hanome fahalalahana bebe kokoa ho an'ny isam-batan'olona ry zareo hanao fanenjehana araka ny lalàna raha mahita fanimbàna tontolo iainana, izay mbola mitoetra ho sehatra saropady mampifanditra ao Shina. |
14 | China's unbridled economic development has been accompanied by severe environmental pollution, with companies often reluctant to enforce environmental laws. | Ny firidandridan'ny firoboroboana ara-toekarena tao Shina dia narahan'ny fandotoana tafahoatra ny tontolo iainana, miaraka amin'ireo orinasa izay matetika tsy mety mampihatra ireo lalàna momba ny tontolo iainana. |
15 | Its annual double-digit growth rate over the past three decades has turned the country into the second largest economy after the US, but the expansion-at-any-cost model has taken a heavy toll on the country's air, water and soil, great concerns for a public empowered by social media through which they air their grievances. | Ny fitomboany isan-taona manaraka tarehimarika roa tato anatin'ny taompolo telo lasa izao dia namadika ilay firenena ho lasa ny toekarena faharoa goavana indrindra eto amin'izao tontolo izao aorian'i Etazonia, saingy novidian-dafo ilay lasitra “fandrosoana amin'ny fomba rehetra”, ho an'ny rivotra iainana ao amin'ny firenena, ny rano sy ny tany, olana goavana ho anà vahoaka mahazo hery amin'ny media sosialy izay andefasan'izy ireo ny kaikitra ataony. |
16 | The alteration of China's environmental law underscores an urgency to tackle pollution head-on as the country reels from the widespread pollution. | Ny fanovàna ny lalàna momba ny tontolo iainana ao Shina dia maneho ny filàna maika miatrika ny fandotoana satria mihodina ao anaty fahalotoana mihanaka be ny firenena. |
17 | It came shortly after China released a sobering report admitting that nearly one-fifth of the country's farmland is polluted. | Tonga fotoana fohy taorian'ny namoahan'i Shina tatitra iray mampieritreritra izy ity, izay miaiky fa efa manakaiky ny ampahadimin'ny toeram-pambolena ao amin'ny firenena no voaloto. |
18 | Liu Meng, a UN worker with a focus on China, explained what the law means for NGOs on microblogging service Sina Weibo: | Liu Meng, mpiasa iray ao amin'ny Firenena Mikambana misahana manokana an'i Shina, no nanazava ny dikan'ilay lalàna ho an'ireo ONG ao amin'ny sehatra fitorahana bilaogy madinika Sina Weibo : |
19 | Due to the “GDP effect”, many high-polluting industries gained local government's protection in the past, NGOs and environmental lawyers have a lot of difficulties in suing polluting enterprises. | Noho ny “fiantraikan'ny PIB (harinkarena faobe)”, fahiny dia marobe ireo orinasa tena mpandoto no misitraka fiarovana avy amin'ny manampahefana ao an-toerana, sahirana mihitsy ireo ONG sy mpisolovava mpiaro tontolo iainana manenjika ireo orinasa mpandoto ireo. |
20 | The new amendments have given a certain degree of rights to social organisations to sue “major polluting enterprises”, so China's NGOs will play a bigger role in environmental supervision. | Ilay fanovàna vaovao dia manome lanja kokoa ny zon'ireo fikambanana sosialy hanenjika “ireo orinasa tena mpandoto”, araka izany dia hitàna anjara asa goavana be amin'ny fanaraha-maso ny tontolo iainana ireo ONG ao Shina. |
21 | In recent weeks, Hebei province has announced it will initiate programs to allow the public to participate in the legislation of environmental laws, it has taken a lead role! | Tato anatin'ny herinandro vitsy lasa, ny faritanin'i Hebei dia nanambara fa hametraka fandaharanasa hahafahan'ny daholobe handray anjara amin'ny fanaovana lalàna momba ny tontolo iainana, efa sava-làlana sahady io! |
22 | Zhu Haijiu, a professor of economics based in Zhejiang, wrote on Weibo: | nanoratra tao amin'ny Weibo i Zhu Haijiu, mpampianatra haitoekarena, monina ao Zhejiang : |
23 | The fundamental reason for tragedies in the environment is the tragedies in the rule of law, it shows the degeneration of laws. | Ny antony fototra mitera-doza amin'ny tontolo iainana dia ny loza apetraky ny fampiharana ny lalàna, mampiseho ny fiharatsian'ny lalàna io. |
24 | Earlier, Zhu told Ifeng.com that it's still premature to consider the amendments' progress: | Tany amboalohany tany, nolazain'i Zhu tamin'ny Ifeng.com fa lasa aloha loatra raha izao no hieritreritra ny fandrosoan'ilay fanavaozana : |
25 | The amendments will give environmental authorities greater power to punish polluting enterprises, but does this represent progress? | Hanome fahefana be an'ireo manampahefana ho afaka hanasazy ireo orinasa mpandoto ilay fanavaozana, saingy mampiseho ny fandrosoany ve izany? |
26 | I don't think so. | Tsy dia izay raha ny hevitro. |
27 | We can't equate “a more powerful environmental agency” to “better environmental governance”. | Tsy azontsika alahatra hitovy “ny sampan-draharaha matanjaka iray misahana ny tontolo iainana ” sy ny “fahaizana mitantana am-pahamendrehana ny tontolo iainana”. |
28 | The problem is that law's implementation has been weak and it's not supervised effectively, plus the public has no channel through which they can hold environmental authorities accountable. | Ny olana dia goragora ny fampiharana ny lalàna ary tsy naraha-maso araka ny tokony ho izy, fanampin'izany ny tsy fananan'ny vahoaka fantsona iray ahafahany mitàna ho tompon'andraikitra ireo manampahefana ara-tontolo iainana. |
29 | Therefore, until we strengthen punitive measures against environmental authorities rather than polluting enterprises, we can't call it real progress. | Vokany, raha mbola tsy vitantsika ny manamafy ny fepetra famaizana ireo manampahefana momba ny tontolo iainana fa tsy ny orinasa mpandoto fotsiny, tsy afaka hiteny isika hoe tena fandrosoana izany. |
30 | Singling out a polluting factory in Foshan in Guangdong province, Weibo user “holdon2014″ offered a bit of tongue-in-check commentary: | Tamin'ny fitsongoana orinasa iray miteraka fandotoana tao Foshan ao amin'ny faritain'i Guangdong, i “holdon2014″, mpampiasa Weibo, dia nanolotra fanehoan-kevitra iray somary fanalàna azy hoe: |
31 | Your opportunity to make money has come! | Tonga ny fotoana azonareo hanangonam-bola! |
32 | You will be spending endless time to issue fines to Daoming chemical factory number 1 and your year-old bonus will be handsome. | Tsy hisy fetra ny fotoana ahafahanareo manome lamandy (sazy ara-bola) ny orinasa laharana 1, Daoming, mpamokatra akora simika, ary dia ho tsara tokoa ny tamby isan-taona ho azonareo. |
