  • 108 received references regarding the values ​​of background concentrations;
  • 35 received conclusions on cross-border transportation of waste from the Green list.

The press service also named the main digital achievements of the Ministry of Environment in 2022:

  • 5 services are available in the peopless format, i.e. without official involvement at all;
  • launch of the EkoZagroza web resource;
  • launch of the DrovaE online store;
