Legislative Officer in the European Commission, DG-SANTE. Food safety expert.

🌿 Nature is beautiful but fragile. We need to protect it – which is why the Environmental Crime Directive coming into force is good news for nature, and for us! This landmark law is the first of its kind. Here’s why: 🟩 It ensures that the most severe breaches of environmental rules are considered as crimes; 🟩 It gives law enforcement authorities and the judiciary the tools to act effectively against environmental crimes; 🟩 It introduces several new offence categories, including illegal ship recycling, as well as serious breaches of chemicals and mercury legislation; 🟩 It provides support and assistance to environmental defenders in criminal proceedings. Caring for the environment is caring for ourselves. #EUGreenDeal #EUdelivers
