    The Task Force on the Environment focuses on overcoming challenges in the transposition and implementation of the acquis on the environment. This includes assessment and peer review of implementation tools. The Task Force also prepares new environmental acquis for their adoption in the Energy Community.
    After the adoption of Clean Energy Package, the Legal Framework 5.0 edition presents the Energy Community body of law in seven thematic volumes.  Dedicated on environment, the Volume VII groups together the acquis in force, varying from strategic environmental assessment, sulphur in fues quality, obligations under the large combustion plants directive, nature protections areas and environmental damage liability.
