Chisinau, 24 July /MOLDPRES/ - Four environment projects will be implemented in Moldova with Romania’s support, starting from the next autumn. Agriculture, Regional Development and Environment Minister Georgeta Mincu has agreed on these and other subjects during discussions between the delegations of Moldova and Romania at a meeting of the inter-ministerial working group, held at the Victoria Palace from Bucharest on 23 July.      

Those four projects were approved for financing based on the Protocol 3 of the agreement between Moldova and Romania on technical and financial assistance worth 10 million euros. The programmes due to be carried out in Moldova provide for the removing of sources of direct pollution of underground waters through conservation or liquidation of deteriorated deep water wells, re-establishment and maintenance of lake ecosystems from the Lower Prut meadow – a component part of the RAMSAR wet zone.     

At the same time, solutions of adaptation to climate changes for the Bic river basin, as well as reduction of gas emissions, through improving the management of dangerous waste in Moldova, are scheduled to be worked out with the support of the Romanian government.  

An important discussion between the Moldovan agriculture, regional development and environment minister and her Romanian counterpart Petre Daea was focused on the resumption of negotiations on a joint agreement on cooperation in combating the falling of hail in the Moldovan-Romanian cross-border region. Also, the sides discussed the deepening of the exchange of experience in the field of strengthening the capacities of the regulatory agencies (Moldsilva Forestry Agency, Environment Agency, Waters’ Agency, Agency of Interventions and Payments for Agriculture, National Food Safety Agency). Also, on 23 July, the sides agreed on the development of Twinning and experience exchange projects in the transposition of European directives with the Rural Investments Financing Agency and National Phyto-sanitary Authority.      

The results of the joint inter-ministerial working group on the immediately next period will be the subject of coordinated actions of both sides, in the perspective of a future joint meeting of the Romanian and Moldovan governments.
