Year: 2000
Type: article
Abstract: Policies, plans and programs adopted at all levels of government may have significant environmental impacts, either directly or indirectly. In order to take these impacts fully into account, such policies, plans and programs should be subject to environmental assessment. During recent years, environmental impact assessment requirements and procedures in the region of United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) have been influenced to various extents by the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context and The European Community (EC) Directive on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has not yet ratified the Convention. The procedure of ratifying this important Convention, of particular interest to FRY has been initiated. Proceeding from the solutions adopted by EEC legislation regarding the environment which are not only an expression of contemporary achievements in the scientific and technical fields but are also a reflection of policies pursued with regard to environmental protection by the advanced European counties, FRY has every reason to take them into consideration in promoting legislation in this area.
