Statute overview

About this statute

Operators of covered hospitality, sports, and recreation establishments must comply with the annex rules, notify the competent authority before starting or changing the establishment, and may only use alternative environmental-protection measures if they show equivalent protection. This provision lets the competent authority set extra requirements for certain environmental issues, and it also imposes some operating restrictions on the person running the facility. The drifter of an establishment must ensure the rules are followed. The text also says the competent authority is usually the municipal mayor and aldermen and must handle administrative enforcement. The provision explains that operators must prevent and limit environmental harm, may use equivalent measures if they can show equal environmental protection, and authorities can impose additional requirements in specified cases. A person planning to open a horeca, sport, or recreation facility must notify the competent authority at least four weeks before starting, and operators must still follow the decree even if no notice is given.
