4 International law developments Transboundary aspects early on the table General principles of international law Trail Smelter case (US/Canada arbitral award 1938, 1941) Nagymaros-Gabcikovo case (Hungary/Slovakia) ICJ 1997 Pulp Mill case (Uruguay/Argentina) ICJ Rio Declaration on Environment &Development Integration (Principle 4) Environmental Assessment (Principle 17) Responsibility for transboundary environmental damage (Principle 2 ) Transboundary procedure (Principles 18 and 19)

6 The role of environmental assessment Collection of information How can we prevent? Consideration of alternatives Integration of environmental concerns with economic, social etc concerns Avoidance of irreversible effects Procedural tool

9 Protocol on SEA - To the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (Espoo Convention) - Related to the Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters (Aarhus Convention) - Adopted in 2003 (Kyiv), in force since Parties, including the EU Global instrument open to any Member State of the United Nations
10 Espoo Convention vs. Protocol scope of application Espoo Convention: - Specific activities (projects) - Transboundary procedures Protocol: - Plans and programmes (and policies and legislation) - National procedures
11 Objectives (art. 1) We all participate to decisions that may affect our lives and the environment - To ensure that environmental, including health, considerations are thoroughly taken into account in the development of plans and programmes; - To contribute to the consideration of environmental, including health, concerns in the preparation of policies and legislation; - To establish clear, transparent and effective procedures for SEA; - To provide for public participation in SEA; - To integrate by these means environmental, including health, concerns into measures and instruments designed to further sustainable development
12 The SEA procedure under the Protocol Screening: Is an SEA required? (Art. 4, 5) Scoping: What is the content of the assessment and the report? (Art. 6) Environmental report: Preparation of the report (Art. 7) (description & analysis of impact / alternatives) Consultation: Input from relevant authorities and the public (Art.8, 9) Transboundary consultations (Art.10) Some basic steps to keep in mind Final decision: into account the conclusions of the report and the consultation outcomes (Art. 11) Monitoring: unforeseen adverse effects during the implementation and remedial action (Art.12)
13 Benefits And why should we care for SEA? Better plans and programmes, policies and laws, because Efficient decision-making that Prevents costly irreparable damage Identifies new opportunities for development Is solid and has community support Enables transboundary cooperation Key to green economy and climate change adaptation High level of environmental protection and wellbeing of the individuals and communities
