Research On Carbon Labelling Legal Construction In China

In China, the carbon label is still a new thing, but this is not the case in the international community. Carbon label is a certificate labels, refers to the producers in a certain calculated standard product life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions calculated and raise as a label in the product or service in order to guide consumers on low carbon consumption, and ultimately aim to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon labelling system caters to consumers with a green consumption demand, also helps to promote energy saving and emission reduction, new technologies, changing production patterns. Carbon labelling currently States unilaterally implemented system can be divided into two kinds: first, mandatory carbon labeling system will raise carbon label as a condition of market access, does not meet the standards approved by the Member States carbon labels of imported products will be rejected;Second, voluntary carbon labelling system, whether domestic or imported products, Member States are to encourage the filling of carbon labels, but not raise carbon labelling also allows the import of the product. Green trade barriers of the former constitutes a previously mentioned.This paper is divided into four parts.Writing aims to explore the existing carbon labels on the international legal system and based on the specific conditions, proposed building a carbon label I do reasonable views and specific mode of the legal system. First part carbon tags with the basic concepts, analyses the concept of carbon labels, carbon labelling laws and carbon labels the basic theory of legal system. Legal relationship from the subject, object, content aspects of the research. Theoretical foundations from the citizen’s environmental right, corporate social responsibility and the internalization of external costs. The second part elaborates in English, French, American and Japanese four carbon-labelling law system in developed countries and four foreign countries carbon labels made an objective assessment of the legal system, including:effectiveness of national carbon labels there are different patterns, progressively expanding, standard-setting bodies, lack of uniform technical standards. Third part tries to propose the establishment of China’s legal system of carbon labels necessity and feasibility. Necessity includes broadening citizen participation the necessity of, development of low-carbon industry necessity, the necessity of environmental legislation in our country and the need to improve our international competitiveness; feasibility, including on the legal basis of feasibility, feasibility of China’s policies as well as social conditions of viability. Last part in full consider China specific conditions of based Shang, on China carbon label legal system of building proposed has reasonable envisaged, which including China carbon label system of mode select, and implementation range, and difference standard; while also proposed has some specific of building way:carbon label of certification specification should is divided into place institutions of initial certification program and increased items certification program and National Review Committee of review program and approved sequence, while carbon label of information content is legal system in the should provides of part; Last sound carbon labelling regulation system, which includes the establishment of carbon labeling Accreditation Committee carbon labels, the establishment of specialized third-party testing organization, establishing industry self-regulation associations, etc.
