Environmental protection: combating serious crime. Framework Decision. Initiative Denmark

The European Parliament adopted a resolution on the framework decision regarding the protection of the environment through the criminal law, based on the report by Giuseppe DI LELLO FINUOLI (EUL/NGL, Italy). (Please refer to the document dated 19/03/02.) Parliament shared the views expressed by the Commission, when the latter asked the Council not to take any action on environmental criminal law before the adoption of the directive on the protection of the environment through criminal law. (Please see COD010076). It felt, nevertheless, that it should give its opinion on the framework decision so that the Council could take it into account.�
