Romania/21/en

The Ministry of Environment, Water and Forests (MMAP) deals with environmental policy and is the main competent authority for plant protection products and GMOs. The MMAP authorises and controls the use of GMOs and plant protection products and monitors their impact on the environment. In this area, the MMAP is supported by the National Protection Agency and the National Environmental Guard. Authorisation of plant protection products in Romania requires the approval of three ministries, the MADR, MS and MMAP. The MMAP is also responsible for the management of obsolete pesticides.
