When carrying out public consultations, and in line with the Aarhus Convention, Member States should aim to ensure equal participation, that the public is informed by public notices or other appropriate means such as electronic media, that the public is able to access all relevant documents, and that practical arrangements related to the public's participation are put in place.
Agus iad i mbun comhairliúchán poiblí, agus i gcomhréir le Coinbhinsiún Aarhus, ba cheart go mbeadh sé mar aidhm ag na Ballstáit a áirithiú go bhfuil rannpháirtíocht chomhionann ann, go ndéantar an pobal a chur ar an eolas trí fhógraí poiblí nó ar bhealach iomchuí eile amhail na meáin leictreonacha, gur féidir leis an bpobal rochtain a dhéanamh ar gach doiciméad ábhartha, agus go ndéantar socruithe praiticiúla a bhaineann le rannpháirtíocht an phobail a chur i bhfeidhm.
