This page of the European Commission's Environment website is devoted to the Aarhus Convention of 1998, relating to the public right to information about official environmental policy. As well as the text of the Convention, the page provides an overview of the issues involved, EU implementing legislation, studies, details of conferences, news and guidance from the European Commission about access to information, consultation processes and access to justice. Users will also find a useful section covering concise summaries of European environmental policy and regulations. The website is available in English, with some parts in other European languages as well. It acts as a gateway to other EU resources that cover pollution restrictions and environmental policy, providing a great deal of statistical and textual information.
