Preşedintele cere Parlamentului reexaminarea legii privind proiectele hidroenergetice din ariile protejate • Newsweek România

President Nicușor Dan has requested the Parliament to reexamine the law allowing modifications to protected natural areas for hydroenergy projects initiated before June 29, 2007. This request follows the Constitutional Court's ruling affirming the law's constitutionality. The law permits the central environmental authority to remove areas from protection at the beneficiary's request, impacting ongoing hydroenergy investments. The Presidential Administration argues for a reassessment of the law's necessity and efficiency, citing outdated economic and environmental data. It emphasizes the need for clearer regulations and environmental guarantees, as well as a unified legislative framework to avoid overlapping legal regimes. The reexamination aims to clarify definitions and procedures related to protected areas.
