Green NGO urges Romanian President to block bill allegedly endangering protected areas
Agent Green, a Romanian NGO with a focus on the environment, issued on Tuesday, April 12, an "ultimatum" to President Klaus Iohannis in connection with the Protected Areas Amendment Act, which the NGO claims is anti-European and unconstitutional, News.ro reported.
The organization claims that it is the duty of the President to correct the situation. Otherwise, Agent Green will notify the European Commission.
On March 22, the organization warned that Romania risks an infringement procedure if a bill is passed that could change the boundaries of protected natural areas to allow the resuming of work on hydropower projects approved before June 29, 2007.
