The proposal is also consistent with:
• The EU Action Plan against Wildlife Trafficking to improve environmental compliance in the field of wildlife trafficking;
• The EU Serious and Organised Crime Threat Assessment (EU SOCTA) 2021, which has identified “environmental crime” amongst the key crime threats facing the EU and therefore it has included environmental crime in the EMPACT 2022-2025;
• The new EU Strategy to tackle Organised Crime covering the period 2021-2025 presented the Commission in April 202, which named environmental crime as one of the future priorities of the EU’s fight against organised crime.
The objectives of this proposal are supported by the Multiannual Financial Framework, which places an important emphasis on funding activities to protect the environment. Some synergies will exist with pre-existing programmes. An example would be the training activites derived from the proposal which most of them already exist and are provided by CEPOL, by Frontex training for law enforcement and by different professional networks such as EJTN and ERA for the judicial branch. Those organisations already benefit from EU budget through Life programme, ISF or the Police and Justice programme and already provide formation on environmental law.
1.5.5.Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for redeployment
In order to cope with the proposal new obligations such as monitoring the situation, increase trainings, provide some guidance and raising awareness, the Commission will have to do an extra effort. Those efforts will rely on DG JUST and DG ENV as most of the tasks listed below will required some time management and some extra costs.

2. MANAGEMENT MEASURES
2.1.Monitoring and reporting rules
Specify frequency and conditions.
The present proposal identifies several monitoring and reporting rules. First, after the end of the transposition period, the Commission will need to produce a report on how Member States transposed the Directive. In addition, five years after the transposition of the Directive, it will need to produce another report on the efficiency of the revised Directive and to identify opportunities to strengthen it. These two reports are the basis of the monitoring and reporting rules lay down in the proposal.
Moreover, the Commission shall issue a biennial report on the data collected and transmitted by Member States.
2.2.Management and control system(s)
2.2.1.Justification of the management mode(s), the funding implementation mechanism(s), the payment modalities and the control strategy proposed
Considering that the proposal affects the Commission’s work, and more precisely that of DG JUST and DG ENV, the EU budget will be implemented via direct management.
Pursuant to the principle of sound financial management, the budget shall be implemented in compliance with effective and efficient internal control.
Regarding controls, DG JUST and DG ENV are subject to:
- internal audit by the Internal Audit Service of the Commission;
- external independent audits from the European Court of Auditors (ECA).
- annual discharge granted by the European Parliament;
- possible administrative investigations conducted by OLAF;
- a further layer of control and accountability by the European Ombudsman.
2.2.2.Information concerning the risks identified and the internal control system(s) set up to mitigate them
No specific risks have been identified at this stage.
2.2.3.Estimation and justification of the cost-effectiveness of the controls (ratio of "control costs ÷ value of the related funds managed"), and assessment of the expected levels of risk of error (at payment & at closure)
Following the Commission central services' guidance, the cost of the controls at Commission level is assessed by the cost of the different control stages. The overall assessment for each management mode is obtained from the ratio between all those costs and the total amount paid in the year for the related management mode.
The ratio of “control costs/payment of the related funds managed” is reported on by the Commission. The 2020 AAR of DG JUST reports 10,45% for this ratio in relation to Direct - Procurement. The 2020 AAR of DG ENV reports 1,55% for this ratio.
2.3.Measures to prevent fraud and irregularities
Specify existing or envisaged prevention and protection measures, e.g. from the Anti-Fraud Strategy.
The LFS concerns staff expenditure and procurement, and standard rules for this type of expenditures apply.
