Conference theme: “Strengthening environmental compliance: Challenges and Solutions ”
Aims
Recent research and analysis of responses from environmental regulators across Europe on the practical implementation of EU environmental law highlight a number of challenges. One key area is the weak enforcement, insufficient penalties and sanctions.

- The EU Network of Prosecutors for the Environment (ENPE)
