"We approved without discussion the codified text of the legal act regulating certain aspects of the environmental impact assessment procedure. On the one hand, we have thus given the public and businesses legal certainty by officially placing all of the provisions in one document. On the other hand, cases are constantly emerging (from the Nord Stream pipeline to projects of local importance in the Member States) which demonstrate that, in future, we will seriously have to discuss certain key aspects of the environmental impact assessment process, such as guaranteeing that the process is independent from those who ordered it and the extension of the concept of the public concerned. The European Commission, as the guardian of EU law, could also play a more active (and, above all, impartial) role in this process, particularly in cases where a project has a cross-border aspect. I therefore call on the Commission to take these comments into account when revising the key provisions of the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive."@en1
