It is indisputable that man together with the surrounding natural environment is a single whole, and most environmental problems are caused by direct or indirect anthropogenic impact on the environment. Conducting environmental assessments as an assessment of the impact on the surrounding natural environment consists, first of all, in the fact that they are, so to speak, the main boundary, the point of control that any planned or ongoing activity must pass, and it can or otherwise harm the environment. With the adoption of the Law of Ukraine «On Environmental Impact Assessment», it introduced a new European model of the environmental impact assessment procedure instead of environmental expertise. This Law made it possible to ensure that Ukraine fulfills a number of other international obligations at an appropriate level. The environmental impact assessment procedure itself is aimed at prevention and prevention of environmental damage, ensuring environmental safety, environmental protection, rational use and reproduction of natural resources, in the process of decision-making on the implementation of economic activities that may have a significant impact on the environment, taking into account state, public and private interests.</p> ER -
