(8) The definition of environmental information in this Regulation encompasses information in any form on the state of the environment. This definition, which has been aligned to the definition adopted for Directive 2003/4/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2003 on public access to environmental information and repealing Council Directive 90/313/EEC OJ L 41, 14.2.2003, p. 26. , has the same content as the one laid down in the Aarhus Convention. The definition of ‘document’ in Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 encompasses environmental information as defined in this Regulation.
