The Council of Ministers must inform the National Assembly on a weekly basis of the measures taken and provide the necessary funds for the purchase of aerial fire-fighting equipment for the needs of the Ministry of the Interior.


The Council of Ministers must also submit a report to the National Assembly on the measures taken to use the funds allocated under the Operational Programme "Environment" for the purchase of fire-fighting equipment for the prevention of forest fires.
