In 2007, an Environmental Code was adopted. As a result, part of the powers of the Ministry of Environmental Protection was transferred to local executive bodies. In particular, powers were transferred to conduct a state environmental review for a number of business entities. Decree No. 1201 “Issues of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the Republic of Kazakhstan” from 8 December 2007, reorganized the territorial bodies of the Ministry of Environmental Protection. They were enlarged by merger. The Committee for Environmental Control of the Ministry of Environmental Protection was reorganized into the Committee for Environmental Regulation and Control. State institutions, territorial bodies of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, were reorganized into the territorial bodies of the Committee for Environmental Regulation and Control of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
