The government has seized a parliamentary draft law amending Article (113) of Law No. (7) of 2022 regarding the environment, explaining that the extension of the period of submitting the appeal against the decisions of the Supreme Environment Council does not correspond to the nature of the law.
The draft law aims to amend the period of submitting the appeal against the decisions of the Supreme Environment Council before the competent court, to be sixty days instead of 30 days.
The government saw the maintenance of the current text, because it is a sufficient period to achieve the purpose of the proposed amendment in a way that allows those concerned with an appropriate opportunity to take legal measures to challenge the decision in dispute, and the period of 30 days came to achieve the public interest in stabilizing the conditions and legal centers, in line with the special nature of the environmental law, because the decisions issued in implementation of it are characterized by the nature of urgency; Due to its vital roles in protecting the environment and natural resources from deterioration, and the need for a rapid response to environmental pollution situations.
