Abstract
This paper describes the Polish requirements for environmental impact assessment (EIA) and discusses procedures and practice in relation to screening, scoping environmental impact statement (EIS) preparation, EIS review, decision-making and monitoring. It is concluded that there is little information available about EIA practice in Poland, that there are confusions of nomenclature, that developers have insufficient choice of consultant, that EIA consultants often prepare weak EISs, that delays in reviewing EISs are common and that public participation is unsatisfactory. A number of reforms are planned which should lead to real improvement in EIA practice and meet the requirements of the European Directive.
