H.5. Permitting and License Studies

The purpose of environmental permits and licensing processes in the world is to reduce the
environmental impacts of industrial activities and to carry out activities in accordance with te-
chnological innovations and environmental requirements. Protecting the environment and hu-
man health is the main purpose of environmental permits, which are transparent legal bindings
for the purpose of controlling resources with significant environmental impacts.

Within the framework of the holistic approach strategy in Türkiye, the application of a single
environmental permit started with the “By-law on Permits and Licenses to be Obtained by the
Environmental Law” which entered into force on 01 April 2010, and the “By-law on Environmen-
tal Permits and Licenses” entered into force on 01 November 2014.

According to Article 5 of the Environmental Permit and License By-law, in order for the busines-
ses listed in Annex-1 and Annex-2 of the same By-law to operate, they must first obtain a Tem-
porary Activity Certificate (GFB) and then an environmental permit or environmental permit
and license certificate within 1 year from the date of the GFB. For businesses listed in Annex-1,
the MoEUCC, and for businesses listed in Annex-2, the Provincial Directorates of Environment,
Urbanization and Climate Change (DEUCC) have been determined as the competent authorities.

GFB applications are made with the information, documents and reports specified in Annex-3A
and Annex-3B of the By-law, and environmental permit or environmental permit and license
