Licensing agencies shall before issuing an investment permit or trade or operating license, ensure that EIA requirements have been fulfilled.

Proponents shall draft IEA in accordance with articles 7 to 9. The Authority shall take a decision on the submitted project/EIA in accordance with article 9. Other provisions of this Proclamation deal with occurrence of new circumstance (art. 11), monitoring of implementation (art. 12), EIA of a public instrument (art. 13), jurisdiction of agencies (art. 14), public participation (art. 15), and various miscellaneous issues.
