The company said the incident cited by Mr Pan was a "misunderstanding" by security guards failing to recognise Sepa credentials.

But Beijing leaders have often issued such instructions, and Mr Pan of Sepa left no doubt that past approaches were not working.

Sepa itself appears determined to seize the moment to push for tougher enforcement of China's existing environmental regulations.

SEPA has less than a tenth of the staff of its American equivalent to police a country with over four times the population.

"Traditional administration methods cannot resolve the accumulated environmental problems, " Mr Pan said in a statement on Sepa's website.

A shortage of money has similarly hobbled SEPA's latest efforts to encourage greener corporate behaviour.

"Suspending approval of new industrial projects is the toughest measure that SEPA can take, given its (limited) authority, " Pan said.

SEPA does not have the position of a "first vice-minister" as some Chinese-language press had reported, they said.

Additional info: this technical standards required by the Secretary for Administration (SEPA).

The Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) also confirmed the find, but stressed it wasn't a danger to the public.

Little of the money, complains a SEPA official, is used to curb pollution.

Indeed, there is no doubting Sepa's lack of clout when it comes to tackling politically well-connected companies.

MOP and SEPA jointly supervise, monitor, and guide the exam; and determine the qualified benchmarks of the exams.

Indeed, there are signs of action against polluters singled out by Sepa bosses as among the area's most egregious.

A move by Sepa this week to halt approvals for industrial projects in polluted areas appeared more a cry for help than a declaration of war.

Despite the obviously poor condition of local waterways, Su Huimin, director of Chaohu's local Sepa office, is upbeat.

Such protests are more likely than SEPA's efforts to goad reluctant officials into action.

Another three have closed permanently and demolition has begun, according to Su Huimin, director of the Chaohu Sepa branch.

In addition, the Constitution and the SEPA Act guarantee the recognition and enforcement of the interstate judgments.

SEPA found over 70% of the water in five of China's seven major river systems was unsuitable for human contact.

To impress its bureaucratic rivals, SEPA also needs a bigger budget.

Ginger now knows how to effectively and efficiently report product and process metrics to the SEPA.

20 School Honours Awards, 20 Outstanding Environmental Protection Teachers Awards and 20 Outstanding SEPA Awards were presented.

SEPA is setting a number of regional centers to get better control. But that is not enough.

SEPA's impotence is one reason why penalties, even when it can impose them, remain laughably light.

Sepa and the health ministry declined to comment.

I think that the biggest impact they have is to boost SEPA's standing in the bureaucracy and give it more publicity from the media.

Between 2000 and 2005 SEPA tripled the fines on polluters.

Chaohu's sanguine Mr Su, for example, is appointed by the local government rather than his Sepa superiors in Beijing.

In 2005, China discharged 25. 5m tons of sulphur dioxide, the most in the world, according to Sepa.
