dijlahpoint - The Ministry of Environment announced its intention to take strict and decisive legal measures against oil companies operating in Basra Governorate in the event that environmental violations resulting from their operational activities continue.
During field tours and coordination meetings, the ministry emphasized the need for international companies to adhere to approved global environmental standards and develop immediate plans to address damages and reduce emissions down to zero-pollution levels.
Government authorities stressed that the substantial financial profits of the oil sector must be matched by real investments in environmental protection and the development of infrastructure for treating waste and heavy water.
