Abstract

In the last modification experienced in the law no. 19300, a cause for early termination of the environmental impact assessment procedure was included, represented by the lack of relevant or essential information contained in an environmental impact study or statement, and which is not susceptible to clarification, rectification or supplementation. Given that the law does not establish express criteria about when this circumstance is configured, and taking into account the legal effect that it provokes, the present work seeks to establish the foundations of said legal rule, the history that preceded it, the definition of what conceptually means the lack of relevant or essential information, the determination of the conditions that make its application possible, the limits to which the administration is subject to adopt said decision.
