石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社10月23日圣保罗报道，巴西国家石油公司周日晚表示，已向联邦环境监管机构巴西环境署申请，欲通过提供环境保护服务来换取免除环境违规罚款。
巴西总统米歇尔·特梅尔此前签署了一项法令，允许将类似罚款变更为环保服务，服务费较原处罚折扣最高可达60%，巴国油因此提出了上文中的申请。
巴国油没有公布其主要因巴西沿岸石油泄漏而承受的环保罚款总额。
该公司称，目前还不清楚申请通过后将为环保服务支付多少费用。
巴西国内一些环保组织批评特梅尔签署的此项法令，称此举将助长行业内的犯罪免责现象。
巴西环保部长菲力欧为法令辩护称，企业过去常常通过法律申诉拒不支付绝大多数罚款，而这项法令则能拉动对环保项目的投资。 詹乐乾 摘译自路透社 原文如下：
Petrobras applies to swap environmental fines for services
Brazil’s Petróleo Brasileiro SA has applied to federal environmental agency Ibama to provide environmental protection services in exchange for wiping out all its fines for environmental offenses, the state-controlled oil company said late on Saturday.
The move from Petrobras comes after Brazilian President Michel Temer signed a decree allowing the conversion of such fines to environmental services, with discounts of up to 60 percent of the initially stated penalties.
Petrobras did not say how much it owes in environmental fines, which generally are for oil spills off the Brazilian coast.
The company said it did not yet know how much it would need to spend on the environmental services if its application is accepted.
Some environmental organizations in Brazil criticized Temer’s decree, saying it would increase impunity for crimes in the sector.
Brazilian Environment Minister José Sarney Filho defended the decree, saying most fines are never paid because companies usually appeal them in court. He said the decree would lead to increased investment in environmental projects.
