An issue paper listing the proposed priorities for a national environment policy has been published, launching the consultation phase before the drawing up of the policy, which should be available by mid-next year.

The paper, work on which started in May, deals with a number of issues, including air, climate, soil, fresh water, coastal and marine waters, biodiversity, waste management, noise and land use.

The consultation is open until September. Meetings with stakeholders, environment non-governmental organisation and government entities will be held and anyone can contribute to the debate.

The challenges to be faced and their socio economic impact will be identified following the consultation phase.
