Environment Minister: Romania and Canada to exchange info regarding environmental impact of mining projects

Romania and Canada will identify ways in which the two states may exchange information on environmental impact evaluation procedures, in the case of high capacity mining projects, Attila Korodi, Romania's Minister of the Environment and Climate Change told a United Nations Climate Summit going on in New York.

"Discussions during the bilateral Romanian-Canadian meeting have focussed on environmental impact evaluation procedures for mining projects conducted in the two countries. In this context, the Romanian Minister of the Environment, Attila Korodi, and his Canadian counterpart, Leona Aglukkaq, have agreed in principle to develop a system that would allow for information exchanges between the two countries. The information exchanged regards both environmental impact evaluation procedures for high capacity mining, as well as the main companies and their mining practices and procedures," reads a press release issued on Thursday.
