Order of the President of the Azerbaijan Republic
«On approving the Comprehensive Action Plan on improving the environmental situation in the Azerbaijan Republic for 2006-2010»
The Azerbaijan Republic is currently experiencing a period of economic development. Environment protection, living in a healthy natural environment and the use of natural resources in the interests of the people are the cornerstones of a comprehensive development concept which is based on extensive social and economic reforms.
The rapid development of the economy, including the expansion of the oil, gas and construction sectors over the past several years, are accompanied by an increase in the level of anthropogenic impacts on the environment. As a result, pollution of lands, water basins and the atmosphere in some regions exceeds permissible levels. At the same time, the reserves of drinking water have dwindled, forests shrunk and land eroded, while landslide and desertification processes have gained momentum. Cases of pollution on the Absheron Peninsula, the Kura-Araz lowland, Baku, Sumgayit, Ganja, Mingachevir and Ali-Bayramli and other such industrial centers with oil, oil products, chemical substances and domestic wastes have become much more frequent. The discharge of industrial and domestic effluents on adjacent areas has led to an increase in the number of artificial lakes and a significant expansion of the existing lakes on the Absheron Peninsula. As a result of such man-made impacts, forest areas have shrunk and there is a threat of bio-cenosis disappearance.
To prevent the adverse impact on the environment and improve the overall environmental situation in the country, a number of important measures have to be taken. These include measures towards treatment of effluents, reconstruction of the sewage system, re-cultivation of contaminated lands, forests and green belts established on a wide area, planting work stepped up and other important activities to improve the natural quality of water, air and land along the Caspian Sea, on the Absheron Peninsula and other parts of the country.
In order to eliminate the anthropogenic impact on the environment and carry out comprehensive measures to resolve the existing environmental problems, I resolve:
1. To approve the «Comprehensive Action Plan on improving the environmental situation in the Azerbaijan Republic for 2006-2010» (attached).
2. To instruct the Cabinet of Ministers of the Azerbaijan Republic to do the following:
2.1. To ensure that the measures envisaged under the Action Plan approved by paragraph 1 of the present Resolution are implemented and to determine funding sources;
2.2. To carry out supervisory and coordinating functions in the implementation of the measures envisaged under the Action Plan approved by paragraph 1 of the present Resolution;
2.3. To report to the President of the Azerbaijan Republic on progress in the implementation of the Action Plan approved by paragraph 1 of the present Resolution once every six months;
2.4. To resolve other issues pertaining to the present Resolution.
3. The present Resolution shall become effective from the date of publication.
