1 — very low
Declaration and standard controls.
Competitiveness · scenario
Environment: simplify through risk proportionality
Reduce paperwork for low-risk projects while retaining rigorous studies where environmental impact can be significant.
Doctrine: paperwork proportional to risk
Environmental protection does not require identical paperwork for every project. Low-impact reversible projects should have lighter procedures, while genuinely high-risk projects retain full assessments.
Four risk levels
2 — low/moderate
Adaptive questionnaire and targeted visit.
3 — significant
Specialised studies for identified impacts.
4 — major
Full assessment, consultation and monitoring.
Safeguards
Public risk criteria, reasoned reclassification, post-permit inspections, strong penalties for false declarations and published environmental outcomes.
