Decree of the State Minister for Environment No. KEP-14/MENLH/1994 on general guidance for drawing up the analysis of impact on the environment.

The Decree formulates the general principles relevant to the environmental impact assessment and to the conservation of the environment. To these ends, the Decree makes provisions for the assessment at different levels. At a preliminary stage experts and other parties concerned shall lay down a general framework ("KA-ANDAL"), for the purpose of formulating the scope of the environmental impact assessment and assuring its effectiveness in accordance with the human and financial resources available. The KA-ANDAL shall be formulated on the basis of the most significant data collected relevant to the environmental impact assessment. The Decree makes further provisions for the performance of a detailed technical study ("ANDAL"), aiming at identifying the business or activities that may pose a hazard to the environment. The results of said study shall be taken into account for the evaluation of the feasibility of a project and for the formulation of plans on environmental protection. On a more general level, an Environmental Management Plan ("RKL") shall be drawn up, in order to provide main directives, principles and requirements for a proper environmental management. The Plan may be considered under the following approaches: (a) technological approach, which aims at the control of hazardous and toxic substances; (b) socio-economic approach, to monitor environmental impact through social and economic activities (participation of the inhabitants to the environmental management, recruitment of skilled local workers, reduction of import duty on pollution-controlling equipment, etc.); (c) institutional approach, through the cooperation with institutions involved in environmental protection. Further provisions concern instructions for the compilation of the RKL. Attachment IV of the Decree is devoted to the Environmental Monitoring Plan ("RPL"), which may be formulated either for specific situations or systematically on the basis of data regularly collected.
