Commission criticises Irish government over EIA Directive

摘要

DG Environment's director-general, Karl Falkenberg, has criticised the Irish government's failure to adopt the EU directive on environmental impact assessment (EIA).rnSpeaking last month at a debate entitled "Greener, better and cheaper: Innovation and creativity as key drivers for sustainable development" Falkenberg said that unlike the waste management and water quality directives, where implementation required significant investment, this directive was an "administrative procedure that doesn't cost much."
