In Czechia, the EIA procedure presents the very first step in a long chain of permitting procedures. This chapter focuses on such multi-stage decision making process from the perspective of public participation, and provides several examples from the Czech case law and administrative practice.
The authors conclude that the quantity of various specific regimes itself has a huge impact on effectiveness of public participation and the narrow scope of various proceedings seems restrictive, pushing the public to carefully select its arguments or employ a "carpet bombing" tactics instead. Moreover, multiple decision-making generates costs on all sides, including investors and administrative bodies.
