At the conference we will address the field professionals and key stakeholders relevant to the implementation of the legislation on responsibility for environmental damage. We will present best practices from Europe with special attention to the practices of our neighbouring countries. The objective of the EcoLex Life project and the international conference is to raise the awareness of the stakeholders, to engage them in dialogue and in that way contribute to reducing the risk of environmental damage.
