EU countries have accumulated rich experience in nature management. The evolution of EU environmental policy has led to a clear approach to defining and solving environmental problems. Application of environmental standards is a guarantee of sustainable functioning of ecosystems in developed European countries. Practice has shown that mindless copying of the experience of other countries, without taking into account the specifics of the formation and development of the ecological space of Ukraine, cannot increase the efficiency of using its existing potential of natural resources and cannot ensure the sustainable development of our territory. Undoubtedly, the achievement of high EU environmental standards should become a strategic task of Ukraine's environmental policy in the near future, but at the same time it is not an easy one. The achievements of the European Community in the field of environmental protection are the result of a long process not only of reforms at the national and regional levels, but also of the awareness of every citizen of the importance of creating conditions for a decent life not only for themselves, but also for future generations. All reforms carried out to implement the environmental component of the Association Agreement have a regional (subnational) context. Ukraine promised to gradually bring its legislation closer to EU law, but was unable to do so Implementation and enforcement of legislation at the regional level is likely to remain a file in a drawer. Local self-government bodies will have regulatory powers after the adoption and adoption of relevant acts in one or another area. National environmental policy is the activity of state authorities to ensure everyone's constitutional right to an environment safe for life and health and compensation for damage caused by violation of this right. However, enterprises and organizations must take it into account when carrying out their activities, and even based on it they can develop their own environmental policy within their own environmental management system.
