The article discusses the implementation of the 1994 Environmental Information Act (EIA) in Germany, particularly on whether it achieves its legal objectives like ensuring free access to and active dissemination of environmental information. Also cited are how the EIA transposed the 1990 European Union (EU) Environmental Information Directive (EID) into national law, and Germany's obligation under international and EU law to have an EIA.
