The Council of Ministers plans to adopt in the second quarter of this year a draft amendment to the Construction Law Act and some other acts regarding the extension of the catalogue of construction investments exempt from the building permit, including about home shelters and micro-instalments of RES using wind energy (the so-called micro-winds), according to information in the list of legislative and program works of the Council of Ministers.

An example of such investments is the construction of non-flude-out tanks used to collect precipitation and melt water or install on building works a micro-installation of RES using wind energy (the so-called microwinders), the information reads.
