Commissioner Roswall participates in Implementation Dialogue to streamline environmental assessments and permitting
Today’s Implementation Dialogue, hosted by Commissioner Roswall, will focus on streamlining permitting, including environmental assessments, to allow for more efficient management of projects and investments. The meeting, taking place in Brussels, gathers representatives from the industry, civil society and Member States’ authorities.
During today’s dialogue, participants will notably discuss national implementation of the existing legal framework concerning environmental assessments and environmental permitting. In addition, they will share their best practices and gather ideas on the potential for simplification of administrative procedures.
Accelerating permitting processes is key to strengthening Europe’s industrial competitiveness during the green transition. In line with the Clean Industrial Deal, today’s Implementation Dialogue highlights the importance of working together for a decarbonised and competitive European industry. This is an opportunity to align implementation with realities on the ground.
Commissioner for Environment, Water Resilience and a Competitive Circular Economy, Jessika Roswall, said: “Today’s Implementation Dialogue enables an open discussion with stakeholders to identify the potential challenges of implementation and simplification solutions. By working together, we can make procedures simpler, faster, and lighter, while keeping high environmental standards. This is crucial for our common goal: fostering Europe’s competitiveness while preserving our environment and health.”
