The Act amending the Act on Making Available Information on Environment and Its Protection (...) as well as some other acts which was accepted by the Sejm on April 29, 2010 stipulates a number of facilitations. The changes are to relate to all investments, whose influence on the environment requires obtaining appropriate administrative decisions. The purpose of the changes is among others to speed up the procedure of issuing the decisions on the environmental conditions, and the changes enable to suspend such proceedings until the petitioner presents a report on the investment’s influence on the environment. The Act also abolish the obligation to obtain the decision on the environmental conditions in connection with the end of the procedure of establishing the areas of Natura 2000.

Currently the Act has been passed on to the Senate.
