Objective
The goal of this
four-session online workshop is to develop a comprehensive understanding
of the key legal aspects of EU water legislation and to exchange views
among judges from various Member States regarding this
topic.
Emphasis will be given to the analysis of the main obligations relating
to water management enshrined in the Water Framework Directive as well
as to the main provisions deriving from the legislation regulating
discharges in water.
In addition to this, the spotlight will be
placed on water protection through criminal law as well as on access to
justice in water-related cases both at EU and national level.
By addressing these issues concerning the implementation of the EU water
laws and the EU and national challenges relating to water pollution
litigation, the workshop aspires to facilitate the handling of future
national court proceedings in this field.
