The new Environment Minister, Dr Jose Herrera promised to continue on the footpaths of his predecessor in order for the Environment and Resources Authority (ERA) to become truly professional, efficient and dedicated. Minister Herrera said this during a recent visit at Hexagon House, where he had the opportunity to meet up with the employees of the newly established authority.
This was Dr Herrera’s first visit at the authority’s premises since his appointment as Minister for Environment following the recent cabinet reshuffle. During his visit the Minister emphasised the fact that the setting up of the ERA showed that the environment was a priority for the Government. Dr Herrera also noted that there was much work to be done, mostly with regards to capacity building, including human resources, the IT system migration and improvements to the building infrastructure.
The Minister was shown around by ERA Chairman Professor Victor Axiak and he also had the opportunity to meet the members of the Authority’s Board.
