The Verkhovna Rada's Environmental Committee has scheduled a meeting for February 18: agenda shutterstock

In particular, MPs will amend their work plan

On Tuesday, February 18, the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Environmental Policy and Nature Management will hold a meeting via videoconference at 11:00.

EcoPolitic has prepared the committee's agenda for its readers.

The MPs will consider the draft Law No. 12356 “On the National Target Environmental Program for Radioactive Waste Management” of 23.12.2024, for which the Committee has been designated as the lead committee. This document was developed by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.

The draft law No. 12356 is envisaged in the Work Plan of the Environmental Committee for February-August 2025. However, it is not included in the Parliament's Draft Law Work Plan for the current year.

The three draft laws to which the committee is to submit its proposals are non-core. They relate to ensuring the rights and freedoms of internally displaced persons, assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of customs authorities, and regulating veterinary medicine.

The issues for consideration include the following:

  1. On the letter of the Accounting Chamber dated 27.12.2024 No. 03-4366 regarding the Report on the results of the performance audit on “Disaster Risk Reduction – Climate Change Adaptation Measures”.
  2. Report on the work of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on Environmental Policy and Nature Management for the period of the twelfth session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the ninth convocation.
  3. On Amendments to the Work Plan of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Committee on Environmental Policy and Nature Management for the Thirteenth Session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the Ninth Convocation.

As soon as the information on changes to the Work Plan of the Environmental Committee becomes publicly available, EcoPolitics will inform its readers about them.

As a reminder, EcoPolitics has already prepared a list of draft laws contained in the Environmental Committee's Work Plan for February-August this year. We also published material on the Parliament's plans in the field of environmental policy for 2025.
