PROCLAMATION NO. 29912002 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT PROLAMA nON 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 impfementation 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 socioeconomic benefits. WHEREAS, environmental impact assessment serves to bring about administrative transparency and accountablity, as well as to involve the public and, in particular, communities in the planning of and decision taking on developments which may affect them and its environment; NOW, TIffiREFORE, in accordance with Article 55(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, it is hereby proclaimed as follows: PART ONE 1.

PART TWO 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 assessment as determined in a directive issued pursuant to Article 5 of this Proclamation. 2) Without prejudice to Sub Article (1) of this Article, when the Authority or the relevant regional environmental 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 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. 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 proponent is 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, transregional effect, duration, reversibility or irreversibility or other related effects of the project. 2) The Authority or the relevant regional environmental 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.
