It is expected that Cyprus will join the European Union (EU) during the next enlargement (anticipated 2003-2005) and will therefore need to incorporate various European legislation, regulations and standards into existing legal, administrative and operational frameworks, including environmental impact assessment (EIA) as set out in Directives 85/337/EEC and 97/11/EC. This paper evaluates the Cyprus EIA provisions and makes a number of suggestions and recommendations as to how the Cyprus EIA process may be improved. Provisional EIA legislation in Cyprus includes some, but not all, of the European EIA requirements. The Cyprus EIA process in practice is highly variable, in some instances struggling to achieve the requirements of existing Cyprus legislation, and in others going beyond even Directive 97/11/EC. The findings of this study can be used to assist in updating the current Cyprus EIA system to reach the EIA standards set by the EU
