Phil Hogan

Question:

349 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for the Environment his views on whether the procedure for certain projects in providing an environmental assessment for the purposes of planning permission operates satisfactorily; if he proposes to make any changes in respect of this directive; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 328 and 349 together.

The environmental impact assessment procedures established on foot of EC Directive 85/337 appear to be operating satisfactorily and I have no proposals to amend them. My Department will continue to monitor the effectiveness of these arrangements.
