The Ministry of the Environment has held public consultations on the two draft government decisions.
The first draft sets out requirements for detergents and surfactants – substances that help remove dirt and grease.
The new provisions relate to product composition, biodegradability, labelling, compliance with standards and safe use. Manufacturers, importers and distributors will be required to comply with these requirements before products are placed on the market.
Detergents sold in the Republic of Moldova must meet the requirements established to protect human health and reduce the impact on the environment, in particular on rivers, lakes and other aquatic ecosystems.
The second draft provides for the adoption of a list of chemical substances that may have a serious impact on human health or the environment.
If a substance is included on this list, its use will only be permitted for the purposes and under the conditions set out in the authorisation. This measure is aimed at stricter control over the substances posing the greatest risk.
Where safer alternatives exist, there are plans to phase out hazardous substances gradually. The aim is to reduce the impact on the general public and workers and to prevent adverse effects on the environment.
Both draft laws form part of the process of aligning Moldovan legislation with European Union requirements and are aimed at ensuring the safer handling of chemicals and reducing risks to health and the environment.
