Guide for cross-border cooperation in the field of the environment

Within the context of the regional accord for the application of the Espoo Convention (1991) in a tri-national framework, the French-German-Swiss Upper Rhine Conference has published a guide to procedures for cross-border consultations concerning projects, plans and programmes with significant impact on the environment.

This publication presents, in the case of procedures for consultation of a neighbouring country, all the measures, regulatory and optional, for civil and administrative participation. This undertaking demonstrates the presence of a long-established tradition of mutual consultation and exchange between the different players on projects having an impact at the cross-border level.
