Environmental conditions are requirements that may be imposed by the EIA screening determination, relating either to the characteristics of the project or to the mitigation and prevention measures aimed at avoiding significant and adverse environmental impacts. Over the period 2004–2023, an average of 6 environmental conditions per determination was recorded. Among these, those for which compliance verification was entrusted to the National Environmental Protection System (SNPA) accounted for approximately 32.6% of the cases.

The indicator measures the capacity to minimize the environmental impact of a project subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) decision by imposing binding and mandatory environmental conditions during both the implementation and operation phases of the project. The indicator highlights the annual trend in both the total number and the average number (per decision) of environmental conditions contained in EIA decisions.
To determine this indicator, all environmental conditions issued by MASE, MiC, Regions and Local Authorities included in EIA decisions were analyzed, identifying those whose compliance verification is entrusted to the National Environmental Protection System (SNPA). Between June 1989 and 2023, an average of 30 environmental conditions per decision was recorded, with a minimum of 6 in 1989 and a maximum of 72 in 2006.
