Q.How have the most recently revised Guidelines been established and revised?

A.

The NEXI Environmental Guidelines (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") were first established in 2001 and then underwent major revision in 2002, 2009, 2015 and 2022. The newest revision in 2022　was made by taking into account public opinions including industrial associations, private businesses, NGOs, and governmental organizations. The revised Guidelines consultation meetings were held 10　times from February 2021 to February 2022. We also received valuable public comments during the one-month hearing period from 28 March 2022 to 2 May 2022. The Guidelines were then revised and finalized.
