Objective
The aim of this
two-and-a half days workshop is to provide participants with a
comprehensive overview of the waste-related crimes which have raised
major concerns in recent years.
Emphasis will be given to the EU legislation and
case law relating to waste offences and crimes, the relationship
between criminal and administrative law provisions for these crimes as
well as the main challenges for investigation, prosecution and
adjudication in this field.
Hence, workshop will shed light on the
protection of the environment through criminal law with special focus on
waste. By addressing these issues that might be relevant for
prosecutors as well as judges, it will facilitate the handling of future
national court procedures in this field.
