- Transferring obsolete technologies, equipment and products. No entity or individual can produce, sell, transfer or use technology, equipment and products that may cause major environmental pollution (Environmental Protection Law). If a buyer purchases such technology, equipment or products, the buyer will bear the environmental liability caused by the purchase.
- Transferring the contaminated land. Under the Ten regulations on soil (see Question 14, Legislation and regulator), the entity or individual that inherits credits and debts bears related liability. When transferring the land use right, the transferee or responsible person agreed between the parties bears related liability. Therefore, if the Prevention and Control of Soil Pollution Law is issued in 2017 and provides for the Ten regulations on soil, the buyer will inherit pre-acquisition environmental liability.
