Subsidies of the EU funds resulted in major projects and plans. In order to prevent natural disasters, the European Community - among others - introduced the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA). With the SEA the environmental aspects prevailed in the earlier phase of the planning process. The SEA is mostly new means in the new Member States, hence the planners and stakeholders had to learn to incorporate it into their practice. On the other hand, the existing institutional structure of a country influences the planning decision making processes. This paper examines the introduction of and difficulties associated with the SEA in Hungary while focusing on institutional settings and integration elements
