Directive 2014/52/EU

Directive 2014/52/EU is a European Union regulation that aims to improve the transparency and quality of environmental impact assessments (EIAs) for projects likely to significantly affect the environment. It sets common standards for how countries evaluate the environmental effects of proposed developments, ensuring thorough, consistent, and publicly accessible assessments. This helps policymakers, communities, and stakeholders make informed decisions, promoting sustainable development while protecting natural resources and public health. The directive also streamlines procedures across member states, facilitating better coordination and compliance within the EU.
