The Ministry of Environment and Water Management (MMGA) received from the developer of the mining project Rosia Montana the last piece of the necessary documentation, an annex to the urbanism certificate, before the announcement of the public debate calendar.
Rosia Montana Gold Corporation had submitted the urbanism certificate and the environment impact report, but after checking the documentation, the ministry demanded a technical report to be annexed to the certificate.
The two parties agreed to announce the debates' locations in a public announcement to be posted on the investor's website but also on that of the ministry.

Since Hungary expressed its intention of participating in the process of authorizing the Rosia Montana investment, MMGA sent the Hungarian parties notifications about all the documents demanded for the investor.
The two countries agreed that the independent group of experts would include, besides Romanians and Hungarians, German and Swedish specialists.

In 2000, an accident at a local gold exploitation caused a major ecological incident when a great quantity of cyanide was spilled in the Tisa River, whose course runs through Hungary before joining the Danube River.
Ecologist organizations, local citizens and members of the Romanian Academy say the Rosia Montana project would have a negative impact on the population, the environment and the archeological vestiges in the area.
