Summary/Abstract: The impact assessment of transposing Directive 2008/99/EC on the protection of the environment through criminal law into the domestic laws of the 28 Member States of EU and of the related experiences legitimately raises the question: is the expansion of harmonization or the promotion of new instruments of application required for the achievement of the pursued objective in the future? This study is the answer offered by its signatory within The Second AIDP World Conference held in Bucharest, in the period 18–20 May 2016. The article establishes, in essence, the necessity to continue the efforts in this matter, on the one hand, by adequate measures of simplification and harmonization of the relevant regulations within the national laws, and, on the other hand, by continuing the concerns of consolidation, at EU level, of imposing the uniformisation and adoption of the instruments of protection of the environment through the criminal law.
