As noted in its report to environment Minister Ostap Semerak, the staff in the new body will be recruited through open competition, the possibility of retesting he was expelled.

The second stage will be an updated legal framework.

The third stage involves the introduction of a new system of monitoring the state of the environment. It also provides for automatic monitoring and recording of offences in the sphere of environmental protection and increasing penalties for such violations.
