Beijing must exert tighter control over the emission of tail gas and coal pollution so as to meet the No. Two European tail gas standard. Beijing will afforest in three areas and widen the green belts to 100 meters along the fourth and fifth ring roads and expressways. By the end of 2007 Beijing will have to finish twenty key projects for ameliorating the environment.
