The Effectiveness of the EIA Procedure in the Czech Republic from the point of view of the Particular Actors Involved - Actual Stage and Recommendations for Improvement

The aim of the theses is to assess on the background of the actual stage of the international, European (EU) and national level of the EIA procedure legislation the effectiveness of this procedure in the Czech Republic, both regarding the requirements laid down for this procedure on the EU level as well as from the view of the particular national actors involved (i.e. developers, competent authorities, expert's reports makers and public concerned). The thesis has been divided into five substantial chapters. The first one describes the outcomes of the EIA procedure as such. The subsequent second and third chapter summarise the actual stage of the environmental impact assessment procedure on the supranational (international and EU) and national level. The fourth chapter deals with the effectiveness of EIA procedure in its current stage in the Czech Republic: it describes and compares the particular shortcomings of this procedure from both the point of view of the requirements laid down for the EIA procedure on the EU level as well as the point of view of the national actors concerned. On this background, the fifth chapter assesses the overall effectiveness of the EIA procedure in the Czech Republic and submits recommendations for possible improvements
