Summary

The bill updates the procedure for handling environmental information in state databases. The bill repeals the Environmental Register Act (KeRS). The new procedure corresponds to how environmental information is actually collected, including distinguishing the information systems previously referred to as sub-information systems of the environmental register as independent data collections. The majority of the existing lists and data of the environmental register are currently and have been consolidated in the draft into the Estonian nature information system (ADVANTAGE). Separate data sets or technologically independent information systems have been created in the meantime for several data sets that have been considered as a list of the environmental register. The draft stipulates the obligation to create a single information technology access point (online environment) for accessing and interfacing data sets containing environmental information, to the extent that it is possible in terms of information technology and economically expedient. The bill will be supplemented the Act on the General Part of the Environmental Code, the Atmospheric Air Protection Act, the Waste Act, the Industrial Emissions Act and the Water Act with provisions on the application and processing of relevant registration and the issuance of a registration certificate in the environmental decision information system KOTKAS. Amendments to the Forest Act set access restrictions on private forest land entered in the forest register to such data that allow assessment of the property and economic status of the individual forest owner and which, in the case of natural persons, together with the data enabling identification of the person, are considered personal data. The Forest Act is also supplemented by the national forest inventory (SMI) regulation. The bill amends the law on the general part of the Environmental Code and 11 other laws.
