Έψαχνα σήμερα τον όρο του τίτλου, τον βρήκα στον ιστότοπο του Υπουργείο Περιβάλλοντος (γυρίστε τη σελίδα στα αγγλικά) και είπα να τον καταθέσω να μας βρίσκεται.
Public consultation, or simply consultation, is a regulatory process by which the public's input on matters affecting them is sought. Its main goals are in improving the efficiency, transparency and public involvement in large-scale projects or laws and policies. It usually involves notification (to publicise the matter to be consuled on), consultation (a two-way flow of information and opinion exchange) as well as participation (involving interest groups in the drafting of policy or legislation). A frequently used tool for understanding different levels of community participation in consultation is known as Arnstein's ladder.
