Objective
The aim of this
two-and-a half-day workshop is to provide participants with a
comprehensive understanding of waste-related crimes that 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. The workshop will shed light on the
protection of the environment through criminal law with a 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.
