Waste management continues to be a problem of the state. This area should be subsidized, as they do in many states. All the players should be involved in waste management, including the state, local authorities and business entities. Such recommendations were formulated in the public parliamentary hearings that centered on the implementation of the waste management strategy of the Republic of Moldova for 2013 – 2027, IPN reports, quoting the Parliament’s press service.
The public hearings were staged by the commission on regional development, environment and climate change. Rendering a report, Minister of Environment Valeriu Munteanu said the new law on waste management is the main element of the waste management strategy. This was adopted last December and will take effect in a year of its adoption.
“It is a progressive law that will ensure a correct waste management platform. It is for the first time that the responsibility for this problem is borne not only by the local authorities, but also by waste generators,” stated the minister.
According to Valeriu Munteanu, feasibility studies for some of the eight regions created for managing waste by intercommunal associations have been carried out so far. In the period, the issuing of authorizations for creating new waste dumps was stopped and there remained by one license in each community.
