Abstract

An environmental compliance programme is an incentive to comply with


environmental regulations, in which the presumed offender is mandated to fullfill a number


of goals and actions, in order to correct their unlawful behaviour as well as manage any


consequential negative environment impact. In the case of unforeseen circumstances during


the execution fase of this programme, the efficacy of it is likely to be affected, therefore, a


correction must be made for adapting the programme to reality. The Environmental


Watchdog may choose between declaring its invalidity, or its decline, or modify the


administrative act that approved the programme.
