environment prior to the approval of a public instrument
provides an effective means of harmonizing and integrating
environmental,economic, cultural and social considerations
into a decision making process in a manner that promotes
sustainable development,

WHEREAS, the impfementation of the environmental
rights and objectives enshrined in the Constitution would be
fostered by the prediction and managementof likely adverse
environmental impacts, and the maximaization of their socio-
economic benefits.

WHEREAS, environmental impact assessment serves
to bring about administrative transparency and accountablity,
as well as to involve the public and, in particular, com-
munities in the planning of and decision taking on develop-
ments which may affect them and its environment;

3. General Provisions
1) Without authorization from the Authority or from

the relevant regional environmental agency, no
person shall commence implementation of any
project that requires environmental impact assess-
ment as determined in a directive issued pursuantto
Article 5 of this Proclamation.

2) Without prejudice to Sub Article (1) of this Article,
when the Authority or the relevant regional environ-
mental agency believes that the possible impacts of
the project are insignificant, it may decide not to
require the concerned proponetn to conduct an
environmental impact assessment.

3) Any licensing agency shall, prior to issuing an
investment permit or a trade or an operating license
for any project, ensure that the Authority or the
relevant regional environmental agency has
authorized its implementation.

4) Approval of an environmentalimpact study report or
the granting of authorization by the authority or the
relevant regional environmental agency does not
exonerate the proponentfrom liability for damage.

5) Without prejudice to Sub Article (4) of this Article,
exemption from liability shall be granted only when
it is verified that it is the victim himself or a third
party for whom the proponentis not responsible that
has caused the damage.

Considerations to Determine Impact

1) The impact of a project shall be assessed on the basis
of the size, location, nature, cumulative effect with
other concurrent impacts or phenomena, trans-
regional effect, duration, reversibility or irrever-
sibility or other related effects of the project.

2) The Authority or the relevant regional environmen-
tal agency shall err on the side of caution while
determining the negative impact of a project having
both beneficial and detrimental effects, but which,
on balance, is only slightly or arguably beneficial,
andthus determine that it is likely to entail a negative
significant impact.

5. Projects Requiring EnvironmentalImpact Assessment
1) Every project which falls in any category listed in

any directive issued pursuant to this Proclamation
shall be subject to environmentalimpact assessment.

2) Any directive provided under Sub Article 1 of this
Article shall, among other things, determine
categoris of:
(a) projects not likely to have negative impacts, and

so do not require environmentalimpact assess-
ment;

(b) Projects likely to have negative impacts and
thus require environmentalimpact assessment.

6. Trans-RegionalImpact Assessment

1) A proponent shall carry out the environmental
impact assessment of a project that is likely to
produce a trans-regionalimpact in consultation with
the communities likely to be affected in any region.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ASSESSMENT PROLAMATION

WHEREAS, environmental impact assessment is used
to predict and manage the evironmental effects which a
proposed development activity as a result of its design sitting,
construction, operation, or an ongoing one as a result of its
modification or termination, entails and thus helps to bring
about intended development;

WHEREAS, assessment of possible impacts on the
environment prior to the approval of a public instrument
provides an effective means of harmonizing and integrating
environmental, economic, cultural and social considerations
into a decision making process in a manner that promotes
sustainable development,

WHEREAS, the implementation of the environmental
rights and objectives enshrined in the Constitution would be
fostered by the prediction and management of likely adverse
environmental impacts, and the maximaization of their socio-
economic benefits.

WHEREAS, environmental impact assessment serves
to bring about administrative transparency and accountablity,
as well as to involve the public and, in particular, com-
munities in the planning of and decision taking on develop-
ments which may affect them and its environment;

NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with Article 55(1)
of the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of
Ethiopia, it is hereby proclaimed as follows:

PART TWO

3. General Provisions

1)

2)

3)

4)

5)

Without authorization from the Authority or from
the relevant regional environmental agency, no
person shall commence implementation of any
project that requires environmental impact assess-
ment as determined in a directive issued pursuant to
Article 5 of this Proclamation.

Without prejudice to Sub Article (1) of this Article,
when the Authority or the relevant regional environ-
mental agency believes that the possible impacts of
the project are insignificant, it may decide not to
require the concerned proponetn to conduct an
environmental impact assessment.

Any licensing agency shall, prior to issuing an
investment permit or a trade or an operating license
for any project, ensure that the Authority or the
relevant regional environmental agency has
authorized its implementation.

Approval of an environmental impact study report or
the granting of authorization by the authority or the
relevant regional environmental agency does not
exonerate the proponent from liability for damage.
Without prejudice to Sub Article (4) of this Article,
exemption from liability shall be granted only when
it is verified that it is the victim himself or a third
party for whom the proponent is not responsible that
has caused the damage.

4. Considerations to Determine Impact

1)

2)

The impact of a project shall be assessed on the basis
of the size, location, nature, cumulative effect with
other concurrent impacts or phenomena, trans-
regional effect, duration, reversibility or irrever-
sibility or other related effects of the project.

The Authority or the relevant regional environmen-
tal agency shall err on the side of caution while
determining the negative impact of a project having
both beneficial and detrimental effects, but which,
on balance,is only slightly or arguably beneficial,
and thus determine that it is likely to entail a negative
significant impact.

5. Projects Requiring Environmental Impact Assessment

1)

2)

Every project which falls in any category listed in
any directive issued pursuant to this Proclamation
shall be subject to environmental impact assessment.
Any directive provided under Sub Article 1 of this
Article shall, among other things, determine
categoris of:

(a) projects not likely to have negative impacts, and
so do not require environmental impact assess-
ment;

(b) Projects likely to have negative impacts and
thus require environmental impact assessment.

6. Trans-Regional Impact Assessment

1)

A proponent shall carry out the environmental
impact assessment of a project that is likely to
produce a trans-regional impact in consultation with
the communities likely to be affected in any region.

2)

3)

The regional environmental agency in the region
where a project with likely trans-regional impact is
being initiated shall ensure the submission of the
environmental impact study report of the project to
the Authority.

The Authority shall, prior to embarking on the
evaluation of an environmental impact study report
of a project with likely trans-regicnal impact, ensure
that the communities likely to be affected in each
region have been consulted and their views incor-
porated.
