What Directive 2011/92/EU on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment requires
Directive 2011/92/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, dated 13 December 2011, codifies and replaces Council Directive 85/337/EEC concerning the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment. It applies to projects likely to have significant effects on the environment by virtue of their nature, size, or location. The directive requires that development consent for such projects must be preceded by an environmental impact assessment (EIA). Projects listed in Annex I, such as crude-oil refineries, thermal power stations over 300 MW, nuclear power stations, certain waste disposal installations, and large infrastructure projects like motorways and airports, must always undergo an EIA. For projects listed in Annex II, Member States must determine, through case-by-case examination or thresholds/criteria, whether an EIA is required, taking into account the selection criteria in Annex III. The developer must supply information specified in Annex IV, including a description of the project, measures to avoid significant adverse effects, an outline of main alternatives studied, and a non-technical summary. The public concerned and relevant authorities must be consulted, with early and effective opportunities to participate. Transboundary consultations are required when a project may have significant effects on another Member State. The competent authority must consider all gathered information and consultations before granting consent, and make the decision and reasons public. Members of the public concerned with sufficient interest have access to a review procedure before a court or independent body to challenge the legality of decisions, acts, or omissions subject to the directive's public participation provisions.
