← REFIT Scoreboard
Environment
The EU has some of the highest environmental standards in the world. Environmental policy aims to protect the EU’s natural capital, turn the EU into a green, resource-efficient economy, and safeguard EU citizens from environment-related pressures and risks to health and wellbeing.
To ensure that unnecessary costs are removed and rules are as effective and efficient as possible, since 2015 under REFIT, 22 initiatives have been adopted and 11 are pending adoption. Moreover, 24 evaluations have been finalised and 6 are ongoing.
