Introduction and principles - Introduction to Environmental Impact Assessment - page 26

Part 4 looks to the future. It illuminates many of the issues noted in Section 1.5.
Chapter 11 focuses on improving the effectiveness of the current system of project
assessment. Particular emphasis is given to the development of environmental auditing to
provide better baseline data, to various procedural developments and to achieving
compatibility for EIA systems in Europe. Chapter 12 discusses the extension of
assessment to PPPs, concluding full circle with a further consideration of EIA, SEA and
sustainable development.
A set of appendices provide details of legislation and practice not considered
appropriate to the main text. A list of further reading is included there.
