	The Presiding Officer in collaboration with NEMA will determine the procedural rules of the Public Consultation.	Any constraints raised during the consultation of interested parties during the scoping stage, shall be duly addressed when drawing up the EIA.	The Terms of Reference (ToR) governing the process of drawing up the EIA or SES must describe the Public Consultation procedure to be followed.	Chapter 6 of the EIA Regulations of April 21, 2006 presents details of the Public Consultation process.	The public consolidation process begins with prior disclosure of a non-technical summary of the Environmental Impact Study, specifying the key effects that the project may generate in the environment, in particular use of natural resources, emission of polluting agents, creation of disturbances (ranging from intensity of lighting/heat to noise and smells) or elimination of residues, identifying the preventive methods used in order to evaluate and diminish the effects on the environment, together with the project’s impact on the socioeconomic environment. Disclosure of these elements must respect industrial confidentiality and observe legal norms protecting non-patented technical knowledge. In the framework of the public consultation, statements and complaints that have been presented, related to the project, will be considered and appraised.	The methodology used in order to carry out Public Consultations varies in each Member State.
	The Public Consultation must be held in a convenient and accessible site for persons who may be affected by the project.	Whenever part of the general public expresses a strong concern in relation to the project and its impact is likely to be extensive and significant, the NEMC will organise a Public Consultation.	The proponent is responsible for public participation, during the conception stage of the activity, up to submission of the EIA and SES reports.
	The proponent should be given the opportunity to make a presentation and respond to the questions raised during the Public Consultation.	The Public Consultation will be chaired by a qualified person, indicated by the NEMC.	MCEA is responsible for public participation, during the revision stage of the ToR up to Environmental Licensing.
