Soil Monitoring Law proposal: Technical Briefing on establishing a robust governance structure

The European Commission’s current proposal for a Directive on Soil Monitoring and Resilience (Soil Monitoring Law) sets an overarching objective to “continuously improve soil health in the Union with the view to achieve healthy soils by 2050”. However, it does not set any legally-binding and time-bound targets to ensure the achievement of this objective. In addition, it does not include an obligation for Member States to establish plans with clear implementation timetables for monitoring and improving soil health. This technical briefing policy recommendations for establishing a robust governance structure under the Directive.
