The European Commission CARDS 2005 Regional Programme provides financial support to the ECENA MAP.
 

The training, which is aimed at countries that are either candidates or potential candidates for EU membership, seeks to increase the countries’ capacities to solve the problems connected to crimes against the environment.

Experts from the REC, Interpol, Federal Ministry of Interior of Austria, Dutch Police Academy as well as Judges , Prosecutors and Police Officers from Hungary will provide know how and share best practices in detecting, investigating and prosecuting environmental crime.
 

ECENA is an informal network of environmental authorities from potential candidate and candidate countries, as well as from the new member countries Bulgaria and Romania. The European Commission is also a member of ECENA.
 

The main objective of ECENA is to support its member countries in strengthening environmental compliance and enforcement in line with the obligations taken up in the EU accession process.
