청와대가 30일 중동 상황 등 여파에 따른 에너지 절약 실천에 국민·산업계 동참을 요청하고 나섰다.
안귀령 부대변인은 이날 오후 서면 브리핑을 통해 "대통령 비서실장이 오후 수석보좌관회의에서 에너지 절약 실천을 요청했다"며 이같이 전했다.
그러면서 "(비서실장은) 중동 상황 여파 관련해 정부·기업이 합심해 에너지 수급 안정에 최선을 다하고 있으나 위기 극복을 위해 국민적 참여가 절실하다”며 "에너지 확보 노력만큼 중요한 건 효율적 사용으로 공공부문이 우선 강도 높은 절약을 실천해야 한다고 주문했다"고 전했다.
이어 "정부·공공기관은 승용차 5부제·조명 소등·냉난방 기준 강화 등 가능한 모든 절감 조치를 전면 시행할 것을 주문했다”며 “국민들에 사용 않는 플러그 뽑기 등 생활 속 절약 실천·대중교통 이용 확대를 당부했다”고 전했다.
또 "전기 사용량 상당 부분을 차지하는 산업계 역할이 중요하다”며 “제조공정 효율화·전력 분산 등 선제적 대응을 요청했으며 기업들 자발적 참여를 바탕으로 출퇴근 시간 분산 방안도 검토해달라고 덧붙였다”고 전했다.
학교 주변 무인점포 식품 위생 관리 실태 관련해선 "소비 기한 지난 식품이 방치돼 있는 등 기본 관리조차 미흡한 사례가 확인됐다”며 "이는 아이들 건강권이 행정 사각지대에 놓여 있음을 보여주는 문제라 지적했다"고 전했다.
더불어 "아이들이 먹는 음식에 단 한 치 소홀함·예외도 있어선 안 된다”며 “관계부처가 지방 정부와 협력해 무인점포 현황을 파악하고, 소비 기한 준수 여부·위생 상태에 대한 집중 점검 방안 마련을 지시했다”고 덧붙였다.
