Do not allow the cancellation of the environmental impact assessment conclusion
An economic entity whose planned activity falls under the Law of Ukraine "On Environmental Impact Assessment" must obtain an environmental impact assessment conclusion (EIA).
When preparing the EIA conclusion, the authorized territorial body (or authorized central body) considers and takes into account the EIA report and the public discussion report. The descriptive part of the EIA conclusion provides information on:
- the environmental impact assessment procedure carried out;
- consideration of the EIA report;
- comments and proposals received during the public discussion that were taken into account and rejected.
State authorities and local self-government bodies, when making decisions on the implementation of planned activities, are obliged to take into account the environmental impact assessment conclusion, which in turn specifies the environmental conditions for such activities (part five of Article 9 of the Law), which are mandatory and must be complied with throughout the entire period of activity, for example, obtaining a permit for emissions of pollutants into the atmospheric air from stationary sources in accordance with current legislation. Compliance with the environmental conditions specified in the EIA conclusion is controlled by the state control body (currently the State Environmental Inspectorate).
Violation of the environmental impact assessment procedure, unfounded and unreasonable disregard or improper consideration of the results of public participation, and other violations of legislation in the field of environmental impact assessment are grounds for annulling the environmental impact assessment conclusion and the decision on the implementation of planned activities in court.
Thus, the mentioned planned enterprise may be stopped by a court decision.
