Poor environmental compliance is symptomatic of policy failure and implies high costs for society, undermines the rule of law, and distorts the level playing field for businesses.
The current report, developed within the framework of the EAP Task Force’s Regulatory Environmental Programme Implementation Network (REPIN), reviews progress in transposing the Guiding Principles into practice and provides recommendations on future action.
The report argues that EECCA countries need to pursue a better regulation process aimed at ambitious, but also fair, feasible, and clear environmental requirements.
