Abstract

This Decree extends, for an indefinite period, the Decree relative to transactions for offences in the field of the environment. That Decree makes transactions available as an option for the settlement of environment-related offences by relevant public institutions. The principal Decree shall, in the future, be replaced by other legislation providing for a mechanism of transactions. This shall be done with a step-by-step approach. For this reason the principle Decree shall remain in force as long as necessary.
