information of the public opinion (Constantinescu, Iorgovan, Muraru,
Tănăsescu, 2004, pg. 64).
The participation of the public with a view to elaborating,
modifying and revising the plans and programs in the domain of the
political regime of the rights established by the emergency Ordinance of the
Government no 78/2000, whose modifications were approved by Law no
426/2001 concerning accumulators and batteries that contain dangerous
substances 1 , concerning the protection of the waters polluted with nitrates
derived from agricultural sources 2 , of the management of the wrappings
and of the wrapped debris 3 as well as of the management of the air quality 4
- domains expressly mentioned by the Decision of the Government no
564/2006 regarding the frame able to create a possible participation of the
public to the elaboration of certain plans and programs connected with the
environment.
So, the access to information connected with the environment and
the amplitude of this type of information represent important instruments
by means of which the public has the right to be informed with regard to
the laws and the juridical instruments from the domain of the environment,
reports regarding the state of the environment, or other aspects connected
with the environment, contributing to a conscious information of the public
with respect with the problems of the environment and to the creation of a
healthy environment.
In order to apply the provisions of the Convention of Aarhus and of
the norms and recommendations of the Union, in Romania it was created –
at the level of the public authority network - an integrated environmental
informational system which is the converging and the re-placing centre of
the information; thus, it was assured the capacity of the subordinate units
to maintain the real access of the public to the information concerning the
environment and a much easier communication with the international
bodies in the domain (Marinescu, 2008, pg. 81-86).

general and universal utility in the domain gravitating around the idea of
