The document will improve the legal regulation of eco-information and access to it

The Committee on Environmental Policy and Nature Management recommended that the Verkhovna Rada adopt in its second reading and as a whole the government draft law No. 7327 "On the state system of environmental monitoring, information on the state of the environment (environmental information) and information support for management in the field of the environment."

It was reported by the government representative in the Verkhovna Rada Taras Melnychuk on Telegram.

He emphasized that the document provides:

  • creating and ensuring the functioning of the state environmental monitoring system;
  • improvement of legal regulation of information on the state of the environment (ecological information) and mechanisms for ensuring access to it;
  • determination of the legal basis of information support management in the field of environmental protection.

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that on July 8, 2022, the Verkhovna Rada rejected and sent for repeated first reading draft law No. 7327 "On the state environmental monitoring system", which the EcoCommittee recommended to the Verkhovna Rada in its first reading on June 5 as a basis.

As EcoPolitic previously reported, in November 2022, the Verkhovna Rada accepted in the first reading revised government draft law No. 7327 "On the state environmental monitoring system". The document will ensure the beginning of an important reform in the field of monitoring of all components of the environment.
