Belgium
Target 10. Strengthen the biodiversity regulatory framework and ensure implementation, compliance and enforcement of biodiversity legislation
ENLegislation is an important tool that can contribute to the conservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of its components. The regulatory framework must be clear and precise. It must be respected by all and adapted if necessary.
Since few people comply with legal rules if non-compliance has no clear consequences, enforcement is essential to ensure compliance with existing legislation to protect biodiversity. Sanctions must be proportionate, dissuasive and effective.
The stakeholders involved in the implementation of this objective are: federal and regional authorities, the judiciary, inspectorates, customs, police and any association working in the same way as the NBS. |
