proposing the establishment of a fund for environmental protection
and power effectiveness. #L#
The fund would be financed through compensations paid by
polluters,
deeds of donation and incentives, as well as from the state budget.
Funds of this kind have already yielded results in developed
countries in transition by encouraging additional investments in
environmental protection.
Parliament's Legislation Committee on Wednesday suggested a third
reading of the bill because it is unclear if the fund will be
budgetary or non-budgetary.
Bench representatives supported the government's intention to
establish a fund in bids to halt the devastation of the environment,
but also voiced concern that the fund's functioning was
questionable due to lack of money.
