April 1 (BTA) - The Supreme Administrative Prosecution
Office has found many municipalities in legal violation when it
comes to green areas, the prosecuting magistracy said Monday.
Violations introducing regimes different than those set in the
law, have been found in 157 statutory instruments.

There are cases where local authorities have allowed the
placement of coffee shops, confectionaries and other sites in
public parks and gardens in violation of the Spacial Development
 Act. Violations have also been established in the size of
movable sites allowed in green areas. Some statutory instruments
 allow changes in the purpose of existing green areas in
violation of the law.
  
The Supreme Administrative Prosecution Office has also found
statutory instruments that introduce sanctions in violation of
the Road Traffic Act for parking motor vehicles in parks and
gardens, the Waste Management Act for littering in green areas,
and the Veterinary Medicine Activity Act.
