Did you know... There is no special regulation of „historic pollution“ liability issue in Lithuanian legislation. Hence unless a polluter of an element of environment (soil or water) is caught with a „smoking gun“, the duty to clean up and redeem the damage done to the environment will lie on the shoulders of the owner or user of a land plot.

Issues of quality and protection of the elements of the environment (water, soil and air) are linked with the control of chemical substances and their emission into the environment. Physical and other pollution is under strict regulation of EU norms and national and local legislation. Therefore, Regija Borenius helps resolve legal questions of usage of forests, water, air and other resources.

Regija Borenius offers its services in the following sectors:

• integrated pollution prevention and control (formerly – permits for utilization of natural resources);
• systems of control of chemical substances and  the new EU regulatory framework for chemicals – the REACH programme;
• protection of biodiversity (animals, plants);
• other pollution-related areas and regulation of usage of natural resources.
