The national Agency For Environment Proctection
The Ministry of Environment and Water Management (MEWM) was re-organised in March 2004. The main responsibilities of the ministry relate to the development of environmental strategy, policy and legislation, focussed on the EU approximation.
The national executive level subordinated to the MEWM is the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA), in charge with the coordination of the regional and local environmental bodies. Specific functions of planning approvals and reporting control are also attached to NEPA, together with the development of secondary legislation for implementation and enforcement.
