The debates showed that regulating soil at EU level can trigger resistance from different stakeholder groups and Member States. Therefore, before preparing this new initiative the Commission has invested extensively in meeting and consulting stakeholders and Member States and some through the establishment of the EU expert group on soil protection.
Particular attention was paid to the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality through sufficient flexibility. The proposal also takes largely into account of the variability of soils, climatic conditions and land use.
A more result-oriented approach with clear targets and less focus on the process or measures to be implemented provides more flexibility at national level, while still satisfying the need for protecting soil coherently across the EU.
1.5.4. Compatibility with the Multiannual Financial Framework and possible synergies with other appropriate instruments
The initiative falls under Heading 3 (Natural Resources and Environment), Title 9 (Environment and Climate Action) of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027
The initiative falls under the umbrella of the European Green Deal. It also follows from and contributes to achieving the ambitions set out in the EU Soil Strategy for 2030. The EU Soil Strategy is a key deliverable of the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030 and sets out a framework and concrete measures to protect and restore soils, and ensure that they are used sustainably. It sets as well a vision and objectives to achieve healthy soils by 2050, with concrete actions by 2030.
The proposal is complementary to other measures outlined in the Biodiversity Strategy 2030 (such as the nature restoration law) and in the EU Soil Strategy (such as the guidance on risk assessment, soil sealing and funding).
Implementation of the initiative by Member States and businesses will be supported by a range of EU programmes such the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development, the European Regional and Development Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the Programme for the Environment and Climate Action (LIFE), the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon Europe, HE) notably through the HE Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe”, the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), InvestEU, and national financing by EU Member States and private funding.
1.5.5. Assessment of the different available financing options, including scope for redeployment
The implementation of the new Directive will entail new tasks and activities for the Commission. This will require human resources, EEA support, procurement resources for external contractors and one or more administrative arrangement with JRC.
There is currently no dedicated existing EU binding instrument on soil and the implementation and monitoring of the Directive are therefore new responsabilities for the Commission and the Member States.
This requires additional resources with high capacity of political judgement, policy knowledge, analytical skills, independence and resilience throughout the long-term implementation of the legislation. Additional expert support will be equally needed, also through outsourcing, where possible, but core tasks that involve a high degree of political sensitivity need to be carried out by the Commission.
1.6. Duration and financial impact of the proposal/initiative
limited duration
- in effect from [DD/MM]YYYY to [DD/MM]YYYY
- Financial impact from YYYY to YYYY for commitment appropriations and from YYYY to YYYY for payment appropriations.
unlimited duration
- Implementation with a start-up period corresponding to the transposition period of 2 years

1.7. Method(s) of budget implementation planned
Direct management by the Commission
- by its departments, including by its staff in the Union delegations;
- by the executive agencies
Shared management with the Member States
Indirect management by entrusting budget implementation tasks to:
- third countries or the bodies they have designated;
- international organisations and their agencies (to be specified);
- the EIB and the European Investment Fund;
- bodies referred to in Articles 70 and 71 of the Financial Regulation;
- public law bodies;
- bodies governed by private law with a public service mission to the extent that they are provided with adequate financial guarantees;
- bodies governed by the private law of a Member State that are entrusted with the implementation of a public-private partnership and that are provided with adequate financial guarantees;
- bodies or persons entrusted with the implementation of specific actions in the CFSP pursuant to Title V of the TEU, and identified in the relevant basic act.
- If more than one management mode is indicated, please provide details in the ‘Comments’ section.
