Liu Jibin said that the meeting was very effective, analyzed the situation, unified ideas, put forward the direction and objectives of the work, and laid a foundation for further improving the work of the industry. He stressed that in the face of the severe market situation, under the current conditions, the cement industry needs to further increase the intensity of peak staggering production. First, peak-staggering production is the independent and self-help behavior of enterprises in the case of serious overcapacity, which is beneficial to local economic development. Only through orderly peak-staggering to achieve quantity control and price stabilization, can enterprises be effective. Local output value, tax revenue and employee income are guaranteed, including the transformation of ultra-low emissions, which are supported by profits. Therefore, comrades in enterprises and industries should improve their understanding of the importance of peak staggering production, and at the same time, strengthen communication with local authorities and strive for maximum support. Secondly, peak staggering is to maintain the ecology of the industry, and enterprises selling products at a loss are the destroyers of the industry ecology. The vast majority of enterprises do not lose money, which is the bottom line requirement of the industry. In the next step, the association will continue to promote precise peak staggering, and at the same time, according to the national law and the requirements of the Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment, cooperate with the provincial departments and enterprises to do a good job in the ultra-low emission transformation of the cement industry. At the end of the

meeting, it was emphasized that the cement industry in the whole province should conscientiously implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the CPC, the Central and Provincial Economic Work Conferences and the spirit of the National "Two Sessions", resolutely implement the policy of peak staggering production, further strengthen industry self-discipline, and adhere to the principle that "industry interests are higher than enterprise interests, and enterprise interests are bred in industry interests". We will work together to promote the steady growth of the industry, adjust its structure and increase its efficiency, and strive to achieve the goal of green, low-carbon and high-quality development of the industry.
