OHRID,
Macedonia
- Ministry
of
Environment
and
Physical
Planning
will
issue
an
order
for
prohibition
of
production,
import
and
use
of
phosphate
detergents
in
Macedonia
in
November.
There
will
be
a
six-month
deadline
for
use
of
the
current
amounts
of
phosphate
detergents,
Minister
Ljubomir
Janev
stated
Thursday
at
the
workshop
on
the
influence
of
phosphate
detergents
on
water
eco-systems
in
Ohrid.
The
annual
quantity
of
phosphates
introduced
in
the
Ohrid
Lake
is
half
a
kilogram
per
person,
while
phosphates
are
the
largest
water
polluters
and
the
basic
reason
for
the
quick
aging
of
the
Ohrid
and
other
lakes.
The
branch
office
of
the
Protect
for
Protection
of
Ohrid
Lake
began
a
media
campaign
for
non-usage
of
phosphate
detergents
two
years
ago,
but
there
is
a
necessity
for
a
legal
regulative,
forbidding
the
use
of
phosphate
detergents,
which
is
a
practice
in
numerous
countries
worldwide.
