What is being done to make the
city transport more environment-friendly
At the local level
(Tbilisi Municipality) there are no initiatives or actions for the
improvement of the administration of transport system in the city
for the purpose of protection of public health and
environment.
At the national
level the significant measure is the introduction by the Parliament
the amendments to "The Law On Investments", "Code of Administration
Offenses" and "Criminal Code" on 22 July, 1999. In correspondence
with these changes the import and selling of ethylized gasoline and
lead tetraethylen is prohibited.
As a direct
follow-up of the London Ministerial Conference (16-18 July, 1999)
and by promotion of TACIS Environmental Awareness Program the "round
table" meeting discussing the Declaration and the Protocols of the
London conference was held in the office of Georgian Greens
recently. Representatives of the Government, Tbilisi
Municipality, non-governmental organizations took part in this
meeting. There are several proposals from different local and
international institutions regarding modification of city's
transportation system, though real actions from the city
municipality still need to be seen.
