About this statute

This Order sets out which projects must undergo an environmental impact assessment before they can be authorized for implementation, and it sets the instructions, requirements, and procedures for that assessment. This article defines key terms used in the Order, including environmental assessment, public participation, Authority, developer, expert, and stakeholders. Projects listed in Annex I must undergo a full environmental impact assessment before implementation, and public institutions cannot approve or authorise listed projects without that prior assessment. Certain works, activities, and projects must undergo a partial environmental impact assessment before they can be authorised. Projects, works, and activities not listed in Annex I and II are not subject to environmental impact assessment, unless the Authority or authorised organ requests one in the stated circumstances.
