Practical implementation of the Aarhus Convention in the nuclear field – round table discussions
The aim is to generate a discussion among parties, (such as NGOs, representatives of the industry, authorities, legal organisations, government offices, etc.) who have a role in the national nuclear energetics. The discussions will be about the experiences related to practical implementation of the Aarhus Convention on Public Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental matters in Hungary.
Type:
round table discussions
Description:
The project is an EU initiation, in which all EU countries with nuclear power participate. The objective is to represent the public interest of access to information and transparency within a working group. This working group gathers a pluralistic group of actors with a significant representation of civil society (other players include: industry, authorities, Parliamentary Commissioners Office of Future Generations and of Data Protection and Freedom of Information) and focus on different nuclear issues (nuclear is picked as a theme, being the least transparent segment of energy in Hungary). This approach enables the various stakeholders, through dialogue and exchange, to identify existing problems and possible ways for progress. Planned outcomes are resolutions or even amendments to existing legislation.
