MORATORIUM ON HOUSING CONSTRUCTION NEAR AREAS WITH PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES COLLECTIONS

Public Chamber's commission on economic development and enterprise has forwarded a letter to the first deputy prime minister Viktor Zubkov asking for a moratorium on housing construction near areas with plant genetic resources collections.

Members of the Public Chamber hope that their position will be taken into account when preparing the final report to the Government on this issue (VIR - draft law on plant genetic resources).

A similar appeal has been forwarded to the head of the president administration Sergey Naryshkin.
