Permits and obligations

Permits are needed by both people and businesses. But for which activities do we need permits, and when are easier proceedings enough? How are applications or declarations submitted, to which authority should they be submitted, and how are they processed? And which activities should be reported to the authorities?

Shipments, collection and transport of waste, export of used products

Chemicals and harmful substances

Conservation of species and nature

Water permit

Environmental impacts of projects must be identified and prevented

Projects subject to an environmental impact assessment (EIA) can be motorways, mines, waste treatment plants or wind farms. The legal procedure provides information on what the actualisation of a project would mean in practice and what its impact on the environment would be.
