EU Directive 2011/92/EU

EU Directive 2011/92/EU establishes a framework for assessing the environmental effects of certain projects, ensuring that potential impacts on the environment are considered before decisions are made. It requires member states to evaluate projects like construction or infrastructure development that may significantly affect the environment. This involves public participation and transparency, allowing communities to be informed and involved in the decision-making process. The goal is to promote sustainable development by balancing economic growth with environmental protection.
