Launched by the European Commission in May 2016, the Environmental Implementation Review (EIR) is aimed at providing an overview of how well Member States are implementing EU environmental law and at helping them if they are struggling. The Commission says that insufficient and uneven implementation causes damage to the environment and human health, and entails high costs. The EIR is a response to calls from the European Parliament and others to improve the situation and better integrate environmental law into other policy areas. The first set of 28 country reports, as well as a document analysing the common challenges across the Member States was adopted in February 2017. Author: Anne Altmayer |
