A zero waste target

The Cabinet chaired yesterday by Deputy Prime Minister, HH Shaikh Mohammed bin Mubarak Al Khalifa, approved the executive regulation of the Public Cleanliness Law 10/2019, and a draft-edict on its issuance.  

The executive direction shall regulate the conditions and treatment of waste and its sorting regulations, including healthcare, industrial and service activities wastes. It also sets the conditions of the transportation of waste to its treatment sites and prohibits its transportation by unlicensed companies.

The regulation also specifies the way to deal with neglected vehicles and all types of scrap in the streets, squares, spaces, beaches and public places, as recommended by the Ministerial Committee for Legal and Legislative Affairs in its memorandum.

Among other things, the deputy premier extended thanks to all ministries and government departments which have been committed to laws and administrative decisions, and verified their financial control systems in their expenditure, as shown in NAO’s report, which made their final accounts professional and objective, as they were consistent with accounting standards and bases.
