Summary of provision (a) Under a new provision (art. 2, para. 11), if the Party of origin (under whose jurisdiction a propose activity is envisaged to take place) intends to carry out a procedure for the purposes of determining the content of the environmental impact assessment documentation, the affected Party should to the extent appropriate be given the opportunity to participate in this procedure. (b) Under a new provision entitled “Review of compliance” (art. 14 bis), the Parties are required to review compliance with the provisions of the Convention on the basis of the compliance procedure, as a non-adversarial and assistance-oriented procedure adopted by the Meeting of the Parties. (c) Appendix I of the Convention containing a list of activities that are likely to cause significant adverse transboundary impact is revised to update several items listed in the original appendix I and to add additional items including the following: works for the transfer of water resources between river basins; waste-water treatment plants; installations for the intensive rearing of poultry or pigs; construction of overhead electrical power lines; and major installations for the harnessing of wind power for energy production (wind farms).
