竹产业是近年来非洲的新兴产业,有巨大的开发潜力。随着“一带一路”的推进和中非友好关系的构建,未来将有大量的中国企业在非洲投资竹产业。非洲国家基于经济发展和环境保护的利益权衡,将会对中国企业投资竹产业设立一系列的投资环境门槛。中国企业对非投资竹产业仍可能在项目建设、生产经营和项目退出阶段面临巨大的环境法律风险。结合本国企业的经营理念和非洲的环境法律法规,中国企业应当通过加强环境影响评价、列出环境义务清单、设立多元化环境纠纷解决机制等多种风险防范措施,从而实现对非洲竹资源的合理利用和对生态环境的有效保护。
Bamboo industry is a new industry of Africa in recent years,which shows great development potential. The Chinese government has offered to help Africa to develop bamboo industry,since the revitalization of the African bamboo industry has brought opportunities along with the steady progress of the initiative and the establishment of friendly relationship between two sides. As a result,a lot of Chinese companies will invest in Africa bamboo industry in the future. However,as African countries balance the interests between economic development and environmental protection,a number of restrictions on investment environment will be imposed on Chinese companies. Hence,Chinese companies’ investments in the bamboo industry probably will be facing huge legal risk of environment at various stages of project construction,production and operation,and termination. Considering the operation philosophy of domestic companies and environmental laws and regulations of African countries,Chinese enterprises should construct a variety of environmental legal risk prevention measures,including extending the environmental impact assessment,implementing of list the environmental duty,and establishing the diversified settlement mechanism to resolve environmental conflicts,in order to develop the bamboo industry in a green way on the basis of protecting the ecological environment of Africa.
