During the workshop, the German experts introduced German EIA and environmental licensing system in terms of the main elements, key principles, general structure, main contents, licensing procedure and methods, industrial emission directive/best available technology, emission threshold, and the monitoring and implementation of the system. ACEE representative introduced the general situations of China’s EIA system and the research progress made by ACEE on environmental license. The participants had a heated discussion on how to integrate the two systems later on.
The workshop is a start for the exchange and cooperation with GIZ. In the future, ACEE plans to carry out more information exchange with GIZ on SEA, CSR and public participation.
