The final part of the report was devoted to implementing European environmental policy into the national legal system of Ukraine.
The report of Olena Mel’nyk provoked lively discussion among the participants. The main topic for discussion was the problem that now stands on the way for implementing innovative component of European environmental legislation in Ukraine. The participants concluded that one of the important issues on the way to rapprochement between Ukraine and the EU in the environmental field is the lack of qualified specialists in European environmental law and the lack of decisive actions by our government.
One of the ways of overcoming these obstacles is the educational greening programs using European experience at all training levels (from kindergarten to training institutions). In addition, it is necessary to form in the active Ukrainian public the clear ecocentric position that will be able to influence the actions of the Ukrainian government in real time.
The implementation of this international project is one of the ways to popularizing European values and standards in the field of environmental protection in Ukrainian society.
