In Romania three organizations are ecologically certified, according to the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) system, instituted by EEC Regulation 761/2001, ways below the European average, with some 6,000 such organizations, announced on Monday, Daniela Toma, Counsellor with the Department for Pollution Control and Risk Management of the Ministry of Environment.

'Currently two organizations in Romania are EMAS registered. The first is Oradea Metropolitan Zone (West), followed by Sibiu Evangelical Parish (center), with two EMAS registrations. At the European level there are 6,000 organizations with EMAS certification, the highest number being in Austria, Germany and Italy', said Toma.

According to the Counsellor, there are two authorized entities in charge with EMAS certification, respectively Stefania Sbircea (an individual) and SRAC CERT Bucharest (a corporate entity).

As for the green label, two hotel units are certified as such (Saturn Hotel in the same name spa on the Black Seaside and Crowne Plaza in Bucharest), as well as IT&C company Maguay for its developed portable computers, according to the current statistics, quoted by Daniela Toma.

All organizations wishing to improve their environment protection performance can adhere to the EMAS system of ecological certification.
