Preface to the proceedings

On behalf of the Project Advisory Committee, I have the honor to present the joint publication of the "Proceedings of the Second and Third Workshop on Environmental Impact Assessment".

Publication of the proceedings of the series of workshops, organised in the framework of the project "Capacity Building for Environmental Management for Vietnam", was not a specific project objective.

We highly welcome the intervention of the funding agency, the European Commission, to allocate an additional budget to the project, enabling the publication of all Workshop Proceedings.

As such, the "Proceedings of the Second and Third Workshop" supplement the "Proceedings of the First Workshop on Training in EIA". And complement the "Proceedings of the Workshop on Methodologies for EIA of Development Projects", a Workshop, jointly organised in July 1999 with the Office of the National Assembly of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Some developments have occurred since the actual organisation of both workshops. Some authors have adapted their report accordingly. Also, in the case of the reports of the World Bank and the UNDP/MPI Capacity 21 project for the Third Workshop, new developments are documented by including more recent output.

In all, we are confident that the series of Workshop Proceedings constitute valuable and useful reference materials for all involved or interested in Environmental Impact Assessment.
