The European Commission has launched the 2019 survey on “Implementation and compliance with EU environmental laws in the Member States”. This is part of their efforts to get a better understanding of the needs and expectations of environmental practitioners in administrations, businesses and organisations that enforce environmental law and citizens who have a keen interest in environmental compliance and enforcement in their country, region or municipality.
The Commission adopted an action plan on Environmental Compliance and Governance which delivered its first results in 2019. The feedback from this survey will be discussed at the Environmental Compliance and Governance Forum and will ultimately feed into the preparation of the work programme 2020 and beyond. This work programme will identify new actions at EU level to support Member State administrations practically in their endeavour to implement EU environmental legislation.
To contribute, click on this link and fill in the questionnaire which should take less than 10 minutes. The questionnaire is anonymous, available in six languages (EN, DE, FR, ES, IT, PL) and you can enter the free text in any language.
Soon the Commission will publish the second round of the Environmental Implementation Review. Moreover, the Green Week 2019 has as the theme “Take the initiative! Applying environmental legislation”.
