In 1998, the National Environment Agency –NEA- was created by the amendment of the 1993 Law on Environmental Protection. In 2001 the NEA was converted into the Ministry of Environmental Protection. The 12 Regional Environmental Agencies are in each of their regions responsible for environmental impact assessment. Reports are published regularly on the State of the Environment (SoE : in 1995, 1999 and 2001). In 1994 a National Environmental Action Plan was adopted and updated in 2001. This plan includes short, medium and long term actions, as well as a series of priority projects.
