This Directive requires Member States to carry out environmental impact assessments (EIA) on certain public and private projects - before they are authorised - where it is believed that they are likely to have a significant impact on the environment. For some projects (such as motorway construction) listed in Annex I to the Directive, such assessments are obligatory.

One of the main features of the directive is that an EIA is always compulsory for certain projects those listed in its Annex I while an EIA is only required for other projects those listed in its Annex II if the projects at issue are found by the Member States to be likely to have a significant environmental impact by virtue of their nature, size or location. The directive had to be transposed by 3 July 1988.
