Premier of the State Council Wen Jiabao presided over the executive meeting of the State Council on the 28th, studying and deploying the current coal, electricity, oil, gas, transportation and agricultural means supply work. The meeting pointed out that doing a good job in coal, electricity, oil, gas, transportation and agricultural means supply work is an important guarantee to promote disaster relief and restoration and reconstruction in disaster areas, gain the whole year's agricultural harvest, and promote the better and faster development of the economy and society. Currently, the total supply and demand for coal, electricity, oil, gas, transportation and fertilizer in our country are basically balanced, but some regions still face relatively tight supplies of coal for power generation, diesel and electricity, while pressure has increased to stabilize fertilizer and other agricultural means prices. It is necessary to further adopt effective measures, make scientific arrangements, coordinate and cooperate, and resolve prominent contradictions comprehensively. First, fully guarantee the needs of coal, electricity, oil and transportation in disaster areas.
