Comparison of methodologies used for the environmental administrative fine calculation

This report from the European Union Network for the Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law (IMPEL) summarizes a project that investigated the methodologies used by EU Member States to calculate administrative fines for environmental violations. The project gathered information from a questionnaire sent to IMPEL member states and found that while almost all responding countries utilize administrative fines, their systems for calculating them varied widely. The report provides a detailed analysis of the different approaches and offers recommendations for countries developing or improving their administrative fine systems.
