The Ministry of Environment, Water and Forests (MMAP) deals with environmental policy and is the main competent authority for deliberate release of GMOs into environment. The MMAP authorises and controls the use of GMOs and plant protection products and monitors their impact on the environment. 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 sustainable use of pesticides.
