EU Agencies and Experts Discuss More Effectively Fighting Environmental Crime
On 6 June 2021, European Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) agencies, European Commission services, and several international organisations and expert bodies met to discuss how to fight environmental crime more effectively. The participation of different agencies and bodies enabled different perspectives to be taken on judicial aspects, the role of customs officers, maritime safety, and the links between drug trafficking and environmental crime. As part of the EU Green Deal, the seminar was one of several actions in support of the protection of the environment and the fight against environmental crime.
