Brief announcement on the amount of the budget to go towards environmental preservation matters in FY 2010

The MOE has recently compiled the relevant government offices and ministries' Environmental Conservation Expenditures for FY 2010, which total amount is \1,259.6 billion. However, expenditures related to public works- the new grants that will be created from FY 2010, is not earmarked in the Environmental Conservation Expenditures, since the expenditures is undisposed at the moment. Therefore, simple comparisons between the total amount of Environmental Conservation Expenditures for FY 2010 and that of FY 2009 are not possible. FY 2010 Environmental Conservation Expenditures (excluding expenditures related to public works) is \794.9 billion, and the initial budget for that of FY 2009 (excluding expenditures related to public works) was \803.2 billion.
