An environmental impact assessment is a mandatory procedure for projects with significant environmental impact: the Environmental Assessment Code determines which activities are subject to assessment, of what stages the process consists, and how society participates. This page is a procedural guide for the client before the Agency — from the scoping application to the preparation of the report and the public discussion of the project.
Which Activities Are Subject to Assessment
Assessment covers the activity provided for by Annex I of the Code, as well as that activity of Annex II which, on the basis of a decision adopted under the screening procedure, becomes subject to assessment. Such an activity may be carried out only after the adoption of an environmental decision, and a licence or permit dependent on it enters into force only after that decision — a licence cannot establish conditions contrary to the environmental decision.
