Uzbek law provides for the realization of the Polluter-Pays Principle. This law provides a framework for setting limits on emissions, releases of waste into the environment, and waste treatment. [Governmental bodies charged with nature protection establish the official limits for releases of pollutants.] The law also requires polluters to pay.
The fees that polluters pay go into a dedicated Ecological Fund, and the monies are used for activities that protect the environment. The Republican Government and local governmental bodies together decide which projects will be funded.
