WILLESTAD:— On Friday, August 25, 2023, at the initiative of the Social and Economic Council (SER) of Curaçao, an exchange of views took place with Prime Minister Gilmar Pisas. The discussion focused on the draft National Air Quality Ordinance.

Afterward, Prime Minister Pisas emphasized the significance of this meeting as a crucial step forward in realizing the legal and social responsibilities that the government bears.
