Abstract

The objective of these regulations is to provide for a high level of protection of the environment and of human health, to contribute to the effective integration of environmental considerations into the permitting procedure for public and private projects, and to ensure that public and private projects which are likely to have significant effects on the environment are adequately assessed before any development consent is granted.
