This proposal comes in the wake of two other initiatives – public access to environmental information and public participation in respect of the drawing up of certain plans and programmes relating to the environment – intended to contribute to the implementation of the Århus Convention of the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations (UN/ECE) on Access to Information, Public Participation and Access to Justice in Environmental Matters.
The European Parliament report contains some aspects that I welcome, in particular expanding the definition of ‘qualified entity’ (specifically to cover local authorities), the possibility of involving private organisations, as it states, ‘to respond to the increasing privatisation of traditionally public functions’, or the guarantees for the participation of bodies that lack the financial ability to bear the costs.
This is an instrument of last resort, which could contribute to reinforcing the action undertaken by communities in order to protect their living conditions and the environment in which they live."@en1
