Executive Summary

The objective of this IMPEL project was to investigate existing practice and experience in EC Member States and Accession Countries as regards monitoring of significant environmental effects of the implementation of plans and programmes according to Article 10 of the SEA Directive (Directive 2001/42/EC on the assessment of the effects of certain plans and programmes on the environment).



Project description

One of the main conclusions drawn by the working group is that scope, depth and way of monitoring depend very much on the characteristics of each type of plan or programme. Article 10 of the SEA Directive refrains from laying down detailed requirements and leaves thus enough flexibility to develop flexible and individual solutions adapted to the respective type of plan and programme. However, the importance of starting monitoring on the grounds of baseline environmental information has been recognised as a common principle for monitoring.

Final report - Implementing Article 10 of the SEA Directive 2001/42/EC
