Three hours of court debate
 
Court Focus 1:
 
Whether the conditions for administrative prosecution case?
 
Plaintiff: sue reasoned

In accordance with Article 9 of the "People's Republic of China Government Information Disclosure Ordinance" (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations"), the EPA should take the initiative to open the relevant information according to the law for public inquiries.
