| August 23rd, 2023 | work packages

Work Package 2 will provide an overview of Zero Pollution governance in the EU including relevant legislation and policy processes and European Commission communications. It will provide insights on the main gaps and obstacles causing a discrepancy between the as-is situation and the desired environmental situation for selected priority pollutants, and identify opportunities and best practices for improving the implementation of EU policies and legislation.

Lead institution: Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ)

Objectives:

  • To obtain insights on the main gaps and obstacles causing a discrepancy between the as-is situation and the desired environmental situation for selected priority pollutants
  • To develop a robust assessment of the Zero Pollution topics and trajectories on EU level, based on current implementation of EU policies and legislation.
  • To identify opportunities and best practices for improving the implementation of EU policies and legislation through a stocktaking assessment and stakeholder consultations
  •  To analyse perceptions of the priority pollutants: the problem and potential solutions in the public and selected stakeholder groups.
