SUMMARY:The AIE Regulations - Access to Information on the Environment
DESCRIPTION:Seminar Overview\nThe AIE Regulations allow access to environmental information held by a public authority. These Regulations also outline the manner in which requests for information may be submitted to public authorities\, as well as the manner in which public authorities are required to deal with requests. \nThe AIE Regulations also provide for a formal appeals procedure known as an internal review in the event that a person is unhappy with the decision about their request. If an applicant is still unhappy after an internal review they may apply to the Office of the Commissioner for Environmental Information (OCEI) or an independent decision on the matter. \nThe number of access requests under the AIE Regulations are increasing steadily\, as noted in the Annual Reports of the Commissioner for Environmental Information. Environmental issues are now reported upon more frequently in the media. Furthermore\, climate litigation against governments\, corporations and fossil fuel companies continues to increase across the world. \nThis one-day online training course will focus on the requirements for processing a request. It will examine the application of certain exemptions\, the appeals process\, procedural issues\, key OCEI decisions and more. \nParticipants will leave the course with a much more advanced understanding of the AIE Regulations. \nWhat is Environmental Information?\n\n\nThe AIE Regulations define environmental information as: \n\n\n\n\n“any information in written\, visual\, aural\, electronic or any other material form on the below \n– environmental elements (soil\, land\, water\, air etc) \n– factors affecting the elements of the environment (waste\, discharges\, emissions) \n– human health and safety \n\n\nWhat Public Bodies are Subject to AIE?\nAccording to the official government website\, \n\n\nThe AIE Regulations broadly define “public authorities” to encompass all bodies that have a role in public administration and that possess environmental information. It is important to note that this definition is broader in scope than the definition of “public body” in the FoI Acts. \n\n\n\n\nUnder the 2011 Regulations\, the Minister is required to publish an indicative list of public authorities that are subject to the AIE Regulations. These are: \n\n\n\n\n\ngovernment departments\nlocal authorities\nnon-commercial state agencies\ncommercial state agencies\nregulatory bodies\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nUnderstanding the European Communities (Access to Information on the Environment) Regulations 2007 to 2018\nRecent Trends and Statistics\nDefining “Public Authorities”\nDefining “Information on the Environment”\nApplying Exemptions\nProcedural Issues: Charges and Timeframes\nReview and Appeal\nOffice of the Commissioner for Environmental Information\nKey Decisions\nThe Role of the Decision Maker\n\nAudience\nThis course is ideally suited to anyone working within a public authority responsible for processing AIE requests and also all public bodies who are subject to Access to Information on the Environment. \nTailored Training \n\n\n\nAll of our open programmes can also be run on an in-house basis.
