In May 2022, the European Commission (Commission) issued public consultations in relation to the proposed revision of two of the EU’s key environmental frameworks. The consultations on the Environmental Liability Directive (ELD) issued on 12 May and the Waste Framework Directive (WFD) issued on 24 May mark the latest in a series of steps that the Commission is taking to revise and strengthen environmental controls in the EU, following on from the EU’s 2019 Green Deal.
