Ministry of Environment to manage Moldova's Water Agency

Moldova's Water Agency will be transferred under the administration of the Ministry of the Environment under a decision approved by the Government on Wednesday, Info-Prim Neo reports. The Ministry will also manage the Agency for Geology and Mineral Resources, the National Agency for Regulation of Nuclear and Radiological Activities, the State Ecological Inspectorate, the State Meteorological Service, the Fishbreeding Service and the Institute of Ecology and Geography. The Ministry of the Environment will coordinate the work of the units that implement water supply and sewerage projects and will be the founder of the state-run hydrogeological company EHCeoM. All these modifications will imply additional costs. Premier Vlad Filat instructed Minister of the Environment Gheorghe Salaru to collect information about the financial resources allocated for implementing water supply projects and analyze how efficiently they are being used.
