The Assembly called for the establishment of an independent Environmental Protection Agency to protect the environment of Northern Ireland.

The Assembly debated and passed David Ford's motion on the Review of Environmental Governance.

The motion was amended slightly and now reads as follows:

"That this Assembly expresses its concern at the failure of the previous Minister of the Environment to take forward the recommendations of the 'Review of Environmental Governance'; believes that the Northern Ireland Environment Agency is not adequate to deal with the challenges facing Northern Ireland; and calls for the establishment of an independent Environmental Protection Agency which must become fully operational within the lifetime of this Assembly."
