This is the rapporteur's draft report on the Commission proposal for a regulation on speeding-up environmental assessments. It adopts a first-reading position with amendments that delete the 'toolbox' for strategic sectors and its Annex, replace EU-wide deadlines with project-specific timelines, and strengthen digital and resource provisions. The draft removes Article 14 and the Annex, and deletes recitals on affordable housing and strategic sectors. It moves the resources and training article into a new recital. It shortens the screening deadline to 45 days, requires the scoping opinion to state a project-specific timeline and scope, and deletes the consultation time-frames, completeness acknowledgement and 90-day reasoned conclusion. It adds an advisory function and possible digital portal for single points of contact, interoperability of data through APIs, and delegated acts on technical and data protection requirements.

Committee position. The rapporteur proposes to adopt Parliament's first-reading position with amendments that delete the strategic-sector toolbox and Annex, replace EU-wide deadlines with project-specific timelines, and strengthen digital and resource provisions.

Key points

  1. Deletes Article 14, the toolbox for strategic sectors or categories of projects, and the accompanying Annex.
  2. Deletes recitals on affordable housing, the dedicated toolbox for strategic sectors, priority status for urgent projects, and Commission implementing powers on strategic projects.
  3. Deletes Article 12 on resources and training and moves its content into a new recital requiring Member States to ensure sufficient qualified staff and financial, technical and technological resources.
  4. Adds to Article 3 that the environmental single point of contact shall include an advisory function to help project developers throughout the process.
  5. Allows Member States to establish a digital portal as the single point of contact.
  6. Requires Member States to establish transparent and predictable guidelines for national implementation of Article 4(2) to (6) of Directive 2011/92/EU.
  7. Extends screening-only treatment to changes or extensions for emissions reduction, energy and resource efficiency or environmental performance.
  8. Allows Member States to preclude arguments not raised during the administrative stage in judicial proceedings, without prejudice to access to justice as established by the Aarhus Convention.
  9. Shortens the screening deadline to a maximum of 45 days and sets the same maximum for changes or extensions of projects.
  10. Requires the scoping opinion within a maximum of 30 days to state the timeline for the full environmental assessment and the scope and level of detail of the report.
  11. Requires requests for additional information after the original scoping opinion to be duly justified, and deletes the consultation time-frames, completeness acknowledgement and 90-day reasoned conclusion.
  12. Requires Member States to ensure interoperability of data through standardised APIs and empowers the Commission to adopt delegated acts on technical, confidentiality and data protection requirements.

Who is affected

  • Member States, which must establish single points of contact, guidelines, interoperability and resources.
  • Project developers, who gain an advisory function, project-specific timelines and justified information requests.
  • Competent authorities, which must meet shorter screening and scoping deadlines and communicate timelines.
  • The Commission, which gains delegated powers on data requirements.

Figures and deadlines

  • 45 days: maximum screening period for projects and for changes or extensions.
  • 30 days: maximum period for the competent authority to issue its scoping opinion.
  • 210 days: period for competent authorities to conclude and publish the environmental report.
  • 6 months after entry into force: deadline for Member States to establish or designate single points of contact.

Legal basis: Article 294(2) and Article 192(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
