Information about the project
The System for the Entry, Evaluation and Resolution of Manifestations of Environmental Impact
MIA-E
The System for the Entry, Evaluation and Resolution of Manifestations of Environmental Impact and derivative procedures in electronic form (MIA-E), as well as the Electronic Annual Operation Certificate (COA) is established. The environmental impact assessment is an instrument of environmental policy, whose objective is to prevent, mitigate and restore damage to the environment as well as the regulation of works or activities to avoid or reduce their negative effects on the environment and human health. Through this instrument, development options are proposed that are compatible with the preservation of the environment and the management of natural resources. The design of eMIA took 3 years, is a very complex design since many areas within the ministry are responsible of certain steps in the process. However user needs account for a seamless integrated service 100% online. A major regulatory reform was made in order to give legal certainty to the electronic process, and an alpha version has been put in place this year.
