- consultations for DEI on the implementation of EU directives on ambient air quality and EU legislation on the disposal and recycling of waste from the extractive industry;
- participation in the development and implementation of an integrated information system for waste management, where information on licenses issued for waste management activities, the location of landfills and dumps, data on polluters and processing capacities will be publicly available;
- specialists undergoing training on compliance with EU environmental standards.
The result of such cooperation will be the strengthening of Ukraine's legislative and institutional system in the field of atmospheric air and waste," Andriy Malovany detailed.
