In addition, the Ministry of Environmental Protection found that Paz did not take sufficient action to prevent or reduce the damage, and therefore the Ministry decided not to reduce the amount of the financial fine through the mitigation regulations.
According to Paz, the malfunction occurred during the renovation work carried out at the plant. Since this was a case that occurred several years ago and has only now come to the implementation of a fine, the company has previously acknowledged the matter in its financial statements, although it has tried to challenge the Ministry of the Environment and reduce the size of the incident.
The Ashdod refinery management said: “This is an administrative process opened by the Ministry of the Environment against the refinery in Ashdod in 2017. The source of the incident is an exceptional fault. .
