Glyphosate & Co – Approval process and review tools underAarhus

Webinar – 26 March, 16:30 – 17:30

As farmer protests grew across Europe, on 28 November 2023, the European Commission renewed the approval for the pesticide glyphosate under Regulation EC 1107/2009 : another 10 years of use of the notorious active ingredient for plant protection products. Many civil societyorganisations have challenged this decision, including a consortium of six NGOs led by PAN Europe. After thoroughly investigating the glyphosate re-approval process and identifying several critical flaws, the NGOs submitted a request to the Commission for an internal review.

In the elni webinar series, we will discuss current legal challenges in
the implementation of Regulation EC 1107/2009 with Martin Dermine,
Executive Director of PAN Europe, and Antoine Bailleux, lawyer and legal
scholar.

26 April Webinar : PFAS-scandals in many European countries: what can we learn?

ELNI webinar series II – CHALLENGES OF EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW TOWARDS 2030

26 April 2022 online, from 15.00 to 17.00

The Netherlands, Germany and Flanders have recently been rocked by pollution scandals involving polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Just at a time when these countries/regions thought they had realised the bulk of their soil policy, emerging contaminants such as PFAS are making it clear that they have missed out on these toxic substances. Where did national/regional environmental policy and regulation go wrong? Why has European regulation not worked either? Is the circular economy threatened by the ubiquitous PFAS contamination? What is the exact role of the Treaty of Stockholm and the POPs Regulation in this respect?

16 March – Webinar Implementing the Green Deal – How many legal challenges for environmental law?

ELNI webinar series II CHALLENGES OF EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL LAW TOWARDS 2030

16 March, from 12.00 to 14.00 ONLINE

The Green Deal adopted by the Commission in December 2019 sets out the blueprint for a transformational change. In contrast to previous EU environmental programs, the Green Deal appears to be significantly more ambitious. However, it is being implemented in a piecemeal fashion with a flurry of strategies and twelve legislative proposals. The aim of the webinar is to give an overview of the legal challenges of the ongoing reform.
