The environment (Codification)

This procedure concerns the consolidation of existing EU legislation on assessing the environmental impact of public and private projects. It aims to ensure that potential environmental effects are considered before projects are approved, promoting sustainable development and environmental protection across the EU.

The updated rules will affect project developers, environmental authorities, and citizens by clarifying and streamlining the assessment process. This ensures consistent application of environmental standards and better protection for natural resources, biodiversity, and public health.
