General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030
Proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the council on a General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030
This proposal for a Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on a new General Union Environment Action Programme to 2030 is based on Article 192 (3) TFEU. In order to ensure ownership of this Programme and delivery on its priority objectives by the EU and its Member States, this proposal for a Decision sets out an enabling framework supporting the achievements of the priority objectives and ensures that progress towards the objectives is measured on a regular basis.
The objectives of this proposal for a Decision cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States alone. Since environment and climate policy is an area of shared competence in the EU and a decentralised policy, one of the purposes of this Programme is to create common ownership of all three EU institutions and the Member States of its objectives, providing policy makers and other stakeholders - including regions and cities, businesses, social partners, civil society organisations and individual citizens - with a predictable framework and direction for action.
