ABC.AZ reports that in the appeal of the Ministry of Ecology & Natural Resources it is noted that the last tariff regulation for services for the placement, neutralization and disposal of hazardous medical waste was carried out on 1 August 2014, the current tariff does not cover costs and creates difficulties for potential entrepreneurs in investing in this area and providing quality services.
