Bill: Ecology Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Christian Social People's Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2799
Description[?]:
| The EPP reaffirms its commitment to environmentalism with this package of reforms. This bill is more moderate than the last attempt by the EPP to reform Ecology Law and the EPP hopes that other parties recognise the importance of these proposals. Article 4 is, simply put, vital in the EPP's opinion. A 'tragedy of the commons' must be avoided. |
