EXPIRATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALIFICATION RESOLUTION AND SEIA REGULATION

Abstract

This paper examines the expiry of the environmental permit (RCA) as a legal consequence incorporated by Law No20.417 and further developed by the RSEIA. It considers not only provisions of environmental regulation but also the legal nature of the RCA in connection with the general principles of Administrative Law. It suggests that regulations governing the expiry of the RCA are illegal because they ignore essential rules and principles of our administrative and general legal framework.
