Comment
The proposed measures whereby decisionmaking is transferred to the Minister from the current expert panels is a catastrophic backward step. Such a system can only work when the Minister is a fully qualified scientist; otherwise, the process will be prone to political and ideological interference to the detriment of the environment. The provision to allow exemptions to be bought is an example of such misuse of power.
