Recital 3
(3) Different approaches to controlling emissions into the air, water or soilland separately may encourage the shifting of pollution between the various environmental media rather than protecting the environment as a whole. It is therefore appropriate to provide an integrated approach to prevention and control of emissions into air, water or soilland, to waste management, to efficient use of energy and to prevention of accidents.

(18) EBearing in mind the provisions of the Aarhus Convention, effective public participation in decision-making is necessary to enable the public to express, and the decision-maker to take account of, opinions and concerns which may be relevant to those decisions, thereby increasing the accountability and transparency of the decision-making process and contributing to public awareness of environmental issues and support for the decisions taken. Members of the public concerned should have access to justice in order to contribute to the protection of the right to live in an environment which is adequate for personal health and well-being.
