The strategic environmental assessment (SEA) of the Slovenia-Hungary Cross-Border Co-operation Programme 2014-2020 has commenced based on European Commission Directive 2001/42/EC and in line with its Hungarian adaptation, Government Decree No. 2/2005 of 11 January 2005. SEA is a useful tool to emphasize the positive environmental impacts of the Programme and at the same time to avoid actions that are harmful to the environment. In order to ensure transparent decision-making, the possibility for consultations is offered to the relevant environmental protection authorities and to the general public. Following the publishing (24 February 2015) on the website there are 30 days available (until 26 March 2015) in the framework of the public consultation to submit comments, opinions and recommendations (in the field of environmental protection and sustainability) to the Slovenia-Hungary Cross-border Co-operation Programme 2014-2020 and to its Strategic Environmental Assessment, with sending the inputs to Ms Dóra Horváth via e-mail to the following address: dora.horvath@me.gov.hu.
