Also on the agenda was the discussion of a report on the registration of state facilities in 2013, whose plan includes 302 thousand 801 facilities in the 2010-2014 time period.

The rational use of drinking water was another aspect at the center of discussion during the Council of State meeting as the president of the National Water Institute, Ines Maria Chapman, reported on the use of water in 2013 with emphasis on the sectors with the highest levels of consumption.
