Abstract
This article reviews Dutch experience in carrying out environmental impact assessments (EIA) of certain types of plans and programmes, as required under current EIA legislation in the Netherlands. It examines some of the main differences between project- and strategic-level EIA for broader-based plans and programmes and, in the light of this presents suggestions on the content of a strategic EIS. It reviews proposals to introduce a compulsory environmental test' for policies requiring a cabinet decision, and a Governmental measure which provides for the assessment of existing policy instruments in terms of their contribution to sustainable development.Keywords
