This Convention – which aims to set out the obligations of the Parties to assess the environmental impact of certain activities at an early stage of planning and imposes on States the general obligation regarding notification and consultation on all major projects that are likely to have a significant adverse environmental impact across borders – was signed by the Community and its Member States on 26 February 1991 and approved by the Community on 27 June 1997.
Parliament approved some amendments, notably one extending the definition of the ‘public’ in Article 1(X) of the Convention to clarify that the public that may participate in procedures under the Convention includes civil society and, in particular, non-governmental organisations, and one that opens the Convention for accession by non-ECE member countries upon approval by the meeting of the Parties, which deserves our support.
The other amendments seem less important to us. In principle, I do not believe they create any problems.
We therefore agreed with the rapporteur and voted in favour of the report."@en1
