Environmental Assessment
Environmental assessment is a procedure that ensures that the environmental
implications of decisions are taken into account before the decisions
are made.
The process involves an analysis of the likely effects on the environment,
recording those effects in a report, undertaking a public consultation
exercise on the report, taking into account the comments and the
report when making the final decision and informing the public about
that decision afterwards.
In principle, environmental assessment can be undertaken for individual
projects such as a dam, motorway, airport or factory ('Environmental
Impact Assessment') or for plans, programmes and policies ('Strategic
Environmental Assessment'). This website provides information on
the European Community's laws on Environmental Impact Assessment
of projects and the Environmental Assessment of certain plans and
programmes together with other related information.
