This seminar has postponed to 21st of July.

环保监管一定涉及环保检查，检查的不利结果将直接导致企业及ESH部门的法律责任。ESH部门为应对具体的环保检查，首先需要理解，环保部门在实践中会如何认定必备的法律构成要素，以形成有效的处罚，也不要自我设想在检查中为利益和任何机构“结盟”。企业应在日常合规中早做准备，从根本上避免行政处罚。

Environmental supervising is bound to involve environmental protection investigation, the negative result of which will cause serious liability that will be assumed by enterprise and its ESH department. During environmental protection investigation, ESH department shall be aware of the essential legal elements to be identified by the environmental protection authority which will lead to an effectively legal punishing. Further, don’t ally with any organ presumably beneficial to you once the investigation is under way. Therefore, the enterprise shall be prepared in daily compliance early on to fundamentally avoid administrative penalty. 

应对政府调查、监管质询、商业谈判，构思答案的过程，会给被问询人带来极大的压力。在“我发誓说的全部是真话”为基本原则的情况下，本节将结合美国法庭质证技术，模拟在环保现场调查背景下，探讨如何使用适当的方式，顺利完成提问和回答的流程。

When dealing with government investigation, regulatory inquiry, business negotiation, the party to be questioned usually endures tremendous pressure in preparing the response. In following section, “I swear to tell the truth, nothing but the truth” being the governing rule, the example dialogues will mimic the setting of environmental protection investigation, combining the America’s court deposition technique, guide you through the questioning and answering process with appropriate methods.
