Improve the efficiency of appraisal and approval of environmental impact assessment reports

Recently, Tay Ninh province has improved the efficiency of administrative procedure settlement in the environmental field, shortened processing time and created convenience for people and businesses.

The province synchronously deploys the work of appraisal and approval of environmental impact assessment reports.

Since the Law on Environmental Protection 2020 took effect from January 1, 2022, Tay Ninh province has synchronously deployed the work of appraisal, approval of environmental impact assessment reports and environmental licensing, ensuring proper order, procedures and quality.

According to statistics, the Provincial People's Committee has appraised and approved environmental impact assessment reports for 166 projects (old Long An 91 projects, old Tay Ninh 65 projects). At the same time, environmental licenses were granted to 1,076 projects (old Long An 584 projects, old Tay Ninh 492 projects).

Receiving and processing documents is done through online public services, helping to shorten the time. All documents are processed before or on time, with no late documents.

However, the inspection and monitoring work after the approval of environmental impact assessments and environmental licensing is still limited. Currently, the Central Government has not issued the National Environmental Database, so localities cannot update and share information synchronously.

To overcome this, Tay Ninh province proposed to regularly update new legal regulations and strengthen post-licensing inspection and supervision.

Along with that, the province proposed that the Central Government soon issue the National Environmental Database to facilitate localities in updating and sharing data./.
