新加坡：印度尼西亚公司亚洲浆纸业（Asia Pulp and Paper，简称APP）周二（10月20日）表示，其绿色认证受到的暂时限制并非暂停，此前一天，一家非营利环保组织限制了该公司的认证。
SINGAPORE: The temporary restriction on Asia Pulp and Paper's green certification is not a suspension, the Indonesian company said on Tuesday (Oct 20), a day after its certification was restricted by a non-profit environment organisation.
针对《亚洲新闻台》（CNA）的询问，亚洲浆纸业承认收到新加坡环境理事会（SEC）关于其强化版新加坡绿色标签计划（SGLS+）认证在三个特许经营区（即公司获准使用或开发的土地）使用方面的通知。
In response to CNA's queries, APP acknowledged the Singapore Environment Council's (SEC) notice on the use of its enhanced Singapore Green Labelling Scheme (SGLS+) certification in relation to three concession areas, or land that a company is allowed to use or develop.
这家旗下拥有Paseo和Nice等纸制品品牌的公司表示：“这些限制不构成对亚洲浆纸业SGLS+认证的暂停。”
"These restrictions do not constitute a suspension of APP’s SGLS+ certifications," said the company, which is behind paper product brands such as Paseo and Nice.
新加坡环境理事会周日发布限制令，此前亚洲浆纸业的三家木浆供应商被关联到印尼的火灾，导致新加坡出现霾害。
SEC issued the restriction on Sunday after three of APP's wood-fibre suppliers were linked to fires in Indonesia that caused haze in Singapore.
这三家供应商——PT Bumi Mekar Hijau、PT Bumi Andalas Permai和PT Sebangun Bumi Andalas Wood Industries——也收到了国家环境局（NEA）发出的预防措施通知。
The three suppliers – PT Bumi Mekar Hijau, PT Bumi Andalas Permai and PT Sebangun Bumi Andalas Wood Industries – were also issued preventive measures notices by the National Environment Agency (NEA).
当被问及是否有满足解除限制要求的时间表时，亚洲浆纸业表示，该通知要求每日报告，“直至新加坡环境理事会另行通知”。
Asked if it has a timeline for meeting the requirements for the restriction to be lifted, APP said the notice requires daily reporting "until further notice" from the SEC.
从周三起，公司将被要求加强对这三个特许经营区热点活动、防火措施、减缓和扑灭行动以及进一步采取行动的监测和报告。
From Wednesday, the company will be required to enhance monitoring and reporting on hotspot activity, fire-prevention measures, mitigation and suppression efforts and further actions being taken at the three concession areas.
这些报告将向新加坡环境理事会定期更新热点的状态和位置、为预防和控制火灾实施的措施、现场响应工作的进展以及为将复燃风险降至最低而计划采取的行动。
The reports will provide the SEC with regular updates on the status and locations of hotspots, the measures implemented to prevent and contain fires, the progress of on-the-ground response efforts and actions planned to minimise the risk of recurrence.
“亚洲浆纸业正在努力满足这些报告要求，并将继续与相关各方接触，以支持有效的火灾监测、预防和应对，”该公司表示。
"APP is working to fulfil these reporting requirements and will continue engaging with the relevant parties to support effective fire monitoring, prevention and response," the company said.
该公司补充表示，高度重视新加坡环境理事会（SEC）的关切，并认识到加强火灾预防、防备和扑救措施监管的重要性。
The firm added that it takes SEC's concerns seriously and recognises the importance of strengthening oversight of fire prevention, preparedness and suppression measures.
亚太资源集团（APP）表示：“我们仍致力于与SEC建设性合作，解决所提出的关切，并在我们的运营和供应链中保持透明度和问责制。”
"We remain committed to working constructively with SEC to address the concerns raised and to maintaining transparency and accountability across our operations and supply chain," said APP.
该公司此前曾与2015年导致新加坡严重霾害的火灾有关联，其产品被下架约四年，直到2019年获得SEC认证。
The company was previously linked to fires that led to severe haze in Singapore in 2015, and its products were pulled from shelves for around four years until it received certification from the SEC in 2019.
目前与APP有关联的三个特许经营权也曾在2015年收到国家环境局（NEA）的通知。
The three concessions currently linked to APP also received notices from the NEA in 2015.
SEC表示，如果APP未能证明已有效实施加强监测、火灾预防和扑救措施，其证书可能会被暂停。
SEC said that APP's certificate may be suspended if it fails to demonstrate that strengthened monitoring, fire prevention and suppression measures are implemented effectively.
该公司表示：“目前尚无解除限制的具体时间表。APP的当务之急是满足报告要求，向SEC提供必要信息，并展示在解决所提出关切方面取得的进展。”
"There is currently no specified timeline for the restrictions to be lifted. APP's immediate priority is to meet the reporting requirements, provide SEC with the necessary information and demonstrate progress in addressing the concerns raised," the company said.
APP补充称，将与理事会密切合作，并根据情况回应进一步要求。
APP added that it will work closely with the council and respond to further requirements as appropriate.
零售商密切关注事态发展 2015年曾将APP产品从超市货架下架的FairPrice表示，正在“密切关注事态发展”。
RETAILER MONITORING DEVELOPMENTS FairPrice, which pulled APP products off supermarket shelves in 2015, said it is "closely monitoring developments".
针对CNA的询问，FairPrice集团发言人表示，公司高度重视负责任采购，并期望供应商遵守适用的环境法规。
In response to CNA's queries, a FairPrice Group spokesperson said the company takes responsible sourcing seriously and expects its suppliers to comply with applicable environmental regulations.
该发言人表示：“我们正在密切关注与区域霾害情况相关的事态发展，并已主动与相关供应商接触，就报道中提到的关切及正在采取的应对措施寻求澄清。”
"We are closely monitoring developments related to the regional haze situation and have proactively engaged relevant suppliers to seek clarification on reported concerns and the measures being taken to address them," the spokesperson said.
FairPrice集团补充称，将继续评估可信信息，包括相关当局的调查结果，并根据情况审查后续步骤。
FairPrice Group added that it will continue to assess credible information, including findings from the relevant authorities, and review the next steps as appropriate.
