Fines and sanctions for fraudulent use of natural resources or for excessive environmental pollution will be tightened. The provision is contained in the Anticorruption Plan on Environmental Protection for 2018-2020, approved by the Government, reads a press release from the Executive.

Thus, the legislation will be revised in the next two years, and the Moldsilva and Apele Moldovei agencies will be reorganized.
