According to the international and EU law, as well as national laws of the some states, during environmental decision-making public participation procedure should be carried out. The procedure begins from the notification, which should be implemented in the adequate way. This means that it should consist of the information listed in art. 6 para. 2 points from a to e of the Aarhus Convention. This information can be divided into two groups. The first group is aimed at notification of the public concerned about the planned project (what it is, what its purpose is, which decisions and by which authority can be taken). The second group is directed at the members of public who are interested in participating in this proceeding. Thus, this group of information concerns the subsequent stages of the public participation procedure. This includes the possibilities to examine the relevant documentation, to submit comments and proposals, which will be considered during the decision-making, as well as to be notified about the final decision. The general rule is to provide sufficiently detailed information to facilitate the public participation in the proceedings. The relevant EU and Polish legislation rather correctly implement these requirements.
