Implementation Challenge – Embedding the results in IMPEL’s work programme.

The report identifies challenges in implementing EU environmental law and explores how IMPEL can help. Key challenges include achieving waste targets, enforcing hazardous waste regulations, and regulating the agriculture sector. The report emphasizes the need for better communication and cooperation between different actors involved in environmental protection. It also highlights the importance of sharing knowledge and developing new approaches to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of environmental regulation.

This document summarizes a report by the European Union Network for the Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law (IMPEL) which explored the challenges of implementing EU environmental law. The summary highlights the project's methods, including surveys, document analysis, and discussions with the European Commission. Key findings show concerns about insufficient resources for enforcement, inadequate sanctions, and low fines for environmental violations.

This report outlines the second phase of an IMPEL project focusing on integrating the findings from a previous project on implementing EU environmental law into IMPEL’s work program. Key tasks included analyzing survey responses, discussing findings with expert teams, and presenting the project to the European Commission. The report stresses the importance of collaboration among different organizations responsible for various aspects of environmental law enforcement. One of the project's goals was to identify ways to improve the sharing of knowledge and best practices.

This report summarizes a 2017 survey conducted by the European Union Network for the Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law (IMPEL) on the challenges authorities face when implementing EU environmental legislation. The report identifies lack of staff and qualified personnel as the most significant challenge

This report from the European Union Network for the Implementation and Enforcement of Environmental Law (IMPEL) summarizes a 2017 survey that investigated the challenges authorities face when implementing EU environmental legislation. The survey explored challenges in various areas, including permitting, waste management, nature protection, and data availability. Lack of staff and qualified personnel was identified as the most common challenge. The report suggests potential solutions, such as using modern surveillance technologies, enhancing knowledge sharing, and streamlining legislation. Additionally, the report includes recommendations for improving IMPEL’s support for its members.

In order to encourage policymakers, legislators and stakeholders to devote more attention to likely problems of practicability in implementation and enforceability throughout the legislative process, with a view to anticipating and remedying practicability and enforceability problems through a pro-active approach, IMPEL initiated a project aimed at producing a practical checklist to assess the practicability and enforceability of existing and new legislation with the aim of improving the overall implementation of EU environmental law in the Member States.
