Article summary

The European Commission has published its fourth Environmental Implementation Review, estimating that failure to comply with EU environmental law costs the bloc around €180bn annually—approximately 1% of its GDP. The review highlights gaps in enforcement across areas such as air pollution, biodiversity and water quality, and sets priority actions for all 27 Member States. ClientEarth has called for full transparency of infringement procedures to improve accountability and strengthen the EU’s environmental rule of law.
