EcoContact and the National Justice Institute are strengthening the capacities of judges and prosecutors regarding the investigation and examination of environmental crimes. Three days of training dedicated to aspects of investigating and examining environmental crimes took place this spring, with the participation of 58 prosecutors and judges practitioners.

At the same time, case studies and practical aspects related to investigating violations in these areas were addressed, including the enforcement of extended producer responsibility regulations for certain types of products placed on the market. At a dedicated session, EcoContact experts presented the procedural stages of environmental impact assessment, the actors involved and how public consultation is carried out, as well as cases regarding cross-border evaluations.
The training day ended with a session focused on examining cases of air pollution and waste management, moderated by a trainer from the National Justice Institute.
