The environmental protection law 4/1994 and the Executive regulations 338/1995 states that new establishments or projects as well as expansion of existing establishment must be subject to an “Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)” before a permit is issued. Environmental Impact Assessment is a systematic process which provides a framework for gathering and documenting information and views regarding the environmental consequences of activities so that the importance of the effects and the scope for enhancing, modifying or mitigating them can be properly evaluated.
