“…This determines the necessity of increased attention of the legislator to solution of problems of prevention of such cases and increase of responsibility of business entities in this area. In Ukraine most of the laws on economic activities provide compensation for damage due to environmental pollution, but they are not sufficient to ensure the prevention and elimination of damage Published by ECSDEV, Via dei Fiori, 34, 00172, Rome, Italy http://ecsdev.org caused to the environment (Ladychenko, V., Golovko, L., 2017).

The purpose of our scholarly work is to carry out the analysis of main trends of development and features of harmonization of Ukrainian water legislation with the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). Limited analysis of the WFD was made and challenges for its implementation in Ukraine were explored. Our study is organized around three major themes: river basin management, water resource protection and water monitoring. As a result of the study proposals for the improvement of Ukrainian environmental legislation were made. Based on comparison analysis differences and common problems of implementation of the WFD in Ukraine and EU member states were determined and recommendations for implementation of successful experience of EU countries in Ukraine were made.

“…Non-governmental organizations working at the environmental protection and persons who suffered the adverse effects or are able to experience the damage from environmentally hazardous activities should have the right to require the competent authority to take the necessary preventive measures. This requirement is necessary because in Ukraine the public has actually no real impact on the environmentally significant decisions (Ladychenko, 2017). Public participation can help by adding another expert voice to the democratic discourse as well as to lawmaking and law enforcement processes (Toth, 2010).…”

The purpose of our scholarly work is to explore legal regulation of access to environmental information and public participation in environmental decision-making in Ukraine and the EU. The article considers how the Aarhus Convention has been implemented in EU member states and Ukraine, concentrating on the public access to information as a valid instrument for environmental protection. Taking part in the Erasmus + Jean Monnet Module "EU Environmental Policy and Law" we have analyzed the possibility of obtaining operative environmental information on the state of the environment in cities and villages of Ukraine. We also have studied European standards in the sphere of disclosure of environmental information and public participation, found some gaps in Ukrainian legislation and filled them in. We offer an interdisciplinary approach: integration of information law, environmental law, international law, human rights and national security. This will allow us to form a conceptual understanding of the legal regulation of information on the environment as an object of realization of information human rights and a component of national security in the context of environmental threats.

“…On the example of EU member states in Ukraine national automated information system of prevention and elimination of environmental damage should be established. Information system of prevention and elimination of environmental damage should include the following information: a) type of damage caused to the environment or its direct threat, place and date of occurrence of harm or threat of its occurrence, its volume, dates of the beginning and the end of the proceedings in the case of an offense; b) full name and address of the entity; c) adopted and implemented preventive and remedial actions, including measures to mitigate environmental damage, the results of remedial action, d) the amount of spending on preventive actions and the size of spending on remedial actions: 1) incurred by entity; 2) from indemnity insurance; 3) not received from the entity with specifying the reason why they have not been received; 4) from the state budget; e) state of the environment and public bodies and organizations where is possible to get information necessary to determine the state of the environment, as well as other information on the environment, collected, stored and distributed (Ladychenko, 2017).…”

This scholarly work examines the environmental protection legislation of Ukraine and its application in practice, aiming to identify the main challenges it faces in the context of the required harmonization of Ukrainian environmental legislation with EU law according to the Association Agreement, while also making suggestions on how to better respond to these issues. This paper also refers to the experience of EU member states in the field of environmental liability. Legal nature, content and meaning of the criminal liability of legal persons in the environmental sphere according to the law of EU member states were studied in order to determine the appropriateness and mechanism of implementation of such responsibility in Ukraine. Arguments for establishment of criminal liability of legal persons were presented. Keywords: Environmental policy, environmental crime, environmental responsibility, adaptation of Ukrainian environmental legislation to EU standards.
