✦ Synopsis

Two important trends in Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), eleven years after Directive 85/337, are the earlier implementation and more effective followup of the EIA, and the increasing focus on transboundary impacts. The 1991 United Nations Convention on EIA in a Transboundary Context (the 'Espoo Convention') is expected to come into force around the end of 1996. The key elements of the Convention are reviewed together with the proposed amendments to the EIA Directive. Project types potentially subject to transboundary assessment are detailed; with virtually all of these set to become Annex I projects under the revised Directive.

Some potential implications of the Convention are then discussed, including the UK Government's present 'hands off' position; arrangements for projects near the Northern Ireland/Eire border; and the potentially more significant concern of transboundary pollution in Central Europe (CE). The paper concludes by recommending official guidance, greater awareness and better strategic planning as being crucial to the successful implementation of the Convention.
