Publicaties op het gebied van m.e.r. (EIA, Environmental Impact Assessment) in relatie tot open planpocessen, ruimtelijke ordening, MCA (??) and andere afwegingsmethodieken in onder meer KenMERKken.
For the time being, I've translated this as 'methods of consideration' but I feel that this is too literal. Thank in advance for your assistance.

Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is carried out at the national, regional or local level in various European countries (see: “Health Impact Assessment - generating a common understanding and developing its use across Europe” co-ordinated by the Wales government and the European Commission). Many countries in Europe also include health elements in other assessment methodologies e.g. Environmental Impact Assessment.

Comment: "Quite right - the solution was in the text. Too tight a deadline and I "could not see the wood for the trees"! Mind you tho', even though 'methodologies' is used in most (European) EIA references, I generally agree with Writeaway that 'methods'sounds more natural in English. Thanks to everyone!"

Although this addition is going to send my answer to the bottom of the pile, I want to enter it anyway:
I see my NL colleagues have stuck with methodology-is a term I tend to avoid unless it\'s really necessary. it means a system of methods so methods alone conveys the same meaning imho and sounds more \'natural\' in English.

methodologies is used in a lot of European texts because they are either written and/or edited by non-native speakers. it\'s having a corrupting influence on the language.
