   Our experts brought up the question of improvement the classification system: it is necessary to develop and approve the Classification of Environmental Protection Activities. The Classification is needed for the reliable accounting of the environmental expenditures by the state and businesses, for correct international comparisons and ful reflection of the country's efforts to protect the environment.
   This Classification should correspond to the environmental protection in the country, and be harmonized with such international classifications as CEPA (Classification of Environmental Protection Activities, 2000) and CReMA (Classification of Resource Management Activities, 2008).
