General Obligations 1/ without authorization from the Authority or from the relevant Regional Environmental Agency, no person shall commence implementation of any project that requires environmental and social impact assessment as determined in a Directive issued pursuant to this Proclamation. 2/ Without prejudice to the provision of Sub Article (1) of this Article, when the Authority or the relevant Regional Environmental Agency assumes that the possible impacts of the project are insignificant, it may decide not to require the concerned proponent to conduct an environmental and social impact assessment. 3/ any licensing agency shall, prior to issuing and renewing of an investment permit or a trade or an operating license for any project, ensure having the environmental and social clearance from the authority or the relevant regional environmental agency. 4/ approval of an environmental and social impact study report or the granting of environmental and social clearance certificate by the authority or the relevant regional environmental agency does not exonerate the proponent from liability for damage. 5/ Without prejudice to Sub Article (4) of this Article, exemption from liability shall be granted only when it is verified that it is the victim himself or a third party for whom the proponent is not responsible that has caused the damage. 5. General Considerations to Determine Impact 1/ the impact of a project shall be assessed on the basis of the size, location, nature, cumulative effect with other concurrent impacts or phenomena, trans-regional effect, duration, reversibility or irreversibility or other related effects of the project. 6C0526C gA Ød‰L ነ U¶T Uz¤È qÜ R x7 [�R� 1 ]H 5067 ›.M Federal Negarit Gazette No. 37, 11th April, 2025 ….page 18219 5/ $W[9 �§ (�s �l� �?" >H $W[ �i ��H³ �m \[�N�H �P!

Projects Requiring Environmental and Social Impact Assessment 1/ any project which falls in any category listed in any Directive issued pursuant to this Proclamation shall be subject to environmental and social impact assessment. 2/ A Directive provided under Sub-Article (1) of this Article shall, among other things, determine categories of: a) projects not likely to have negative impacts, and so do not require environmental and social impact assessment; and b) projects likely to have negative impacts and thus require environmental and social impact assessment. 7. Trans-Regional Environmental and Social Impact Assessment 1/ the Regional Environmental Agency in the region where a project with likely trans- regional impact is being initiated shall ensure the submission of the environmental and social impact study report of the project to the Authority. 2/ the Authority shall, prior to embarking on the evaluation of an environmental and social impact study report of a project with likely trans-regional impact, ensure that the communities likely to be affected in each region have been consulted and their views incorporated. 6C0526¢ gA Ød‰L ነ U¶T Uz¤È qÜ R x7 [�R� 1 ]H 5067 ›.M Federal Negarit Gazette No. 37, 11th April, 2025 ….page 18220 C.
