In the exchange, Online youth When asked about the minister’s point of view when there were concerns from some delegates, the experts said the regulations on environmental impact assessment (EIA) reporting in the recently passed law is “a step backwards.”
* Minister, how is the EIA report publicized when the Environmental Protection Act (revised) is approved?
– This immediate access to the law has made it very clear what information should be disclosed. And in which the responsibility of anyone must be public, always open. Thus, in the EIA report, this law attributes responsibility to commercial entities.
State agencies deliver the regulations and standards that require project management. So when starting a development project, investing, from the policy implementation stage, the pre-feasibility preparation to the start of the technical design, the company must at the same time carry out EIA reports.
And when people have done it and think that we have followed our instructions, they submit to the local authority or the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, they themselves must make the document known on the portal. your electronic news. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) that receives the document will carry out the reference and consultation publicity on its portal (of the ministry – NV).
* What information does the public content include, Minister?
– The members of the council will also be made known, the results of the council’s evaluation will be made known. If necessary, the EIA report will be made public, issues that the ministry considers necessary to consult with experts and research institutions.
That regulation, the detailed regulation, will be determined by the Government. Regarding the liability provisions, the content is already specified in this law.
* In the meeting with experts from 5-11, the minister received and said The bill will require the agency to evaluate the report. EIA also publicly reported EIA upon receipt for appraisal, and at the same time making known the decision to approve the appraisal agency’s report. TBut now that the approved law does not have this, why, Minister?
– The law says who is public. And why did your product (proprietary – NV) tell me to go public. You are responsible for that copy. Because I finished advertising, you said the version is not the final version.
Now, attributing corporate responsibility when reporting that report to the State, the company must be responsible for that disclosure. State cThe appraisal council stated, the appraisal results covered the EIA. That is the job of the state, but the state is not going to work on behalf of companies. Those who act will be responsible before the law.
* So, if all companies are assigned to release the EIA report, what solution does the minister have to advise the Government to avoid the situation of investors who seek profits to hide important information by publicly consulting with experts? , citizen?
– The law establishes that a responsible company must fully comply with the provisions of the law. It is the responsibility of the company to make reports.
It is the responsibility of the company to follow the instructions of the law to identify impacts and consider solutions. And that if companies want to profit, they must publish reports to seek advice. That is what the company has to do.
How can the company hide it? The state agency will publish the full results. Even when the report has been evaluated, it will transfer opinions and announce to society that the impact is this, the problem is this, the solution is this. We agree like this, all the measures like this. reFor society to know everything, nothing is backwards.
