I. Preventive Control Functions:
1. To prepare a valid Decision whether the EEI (Evaluation of Environmental Impact) is necessary or not, regarding investment proposals for construction activities and technologies;
Within the research and development study period, investors are obliged to inform in writing the relevant bodies - the MOEW/RIEW about their investment proposals for construction activities and technologies.
• On reception of the notification, the relevant institution issues a standpoint whether the investment proposal is envisaged in Annex 1 of the Environment Preservation Act (EPA) or not. If it is, the EEI is mandatory. If an investment proposal is envisaged in Annex 2 of the EPA, the validity of EEI is defined for every single case on the grounds of certain criteria. If an investment proposal is out of the range of Annexes 1 and 2, but contains elements concerning the National Ecological Net (NET), then again the validity of EEI is defined for every single case.
• Within 14-days period the relevant institution informs the investor about the actions he should undertake.
