title: [Regulation requirements for new investments to protect the environment against electromagnetic fields].
abstract: The date of 28 July 2005, when the amendments to the Environmental Protection Act and related acts entered into force, is crucial for the future installations of the majority of electromagnetic fields emitters. Since the amendments let the environmental protection assessment procedures be more "independent", set the decision on environmental conditions for development consent and transposed the rules of managing and protection of Natura 2000 sites, they are considered as a revolution in the environmental impact assessment system. According to new rules, the decision on environmental conditions for development consent is granted for the project that may have a significant impact on the environment listed in the regulation issued by the Council of Ministers on 9 November 2004 on the types of projects that may have significant impact on the environment and detailed criteria for screening of the projects for which the environmental impact report may be required or for other projects that may have significant impact on Natura 2000 sites.
