The European Commission’s current proposal for a Directive on Soil Monitoring and Resilience (Soil Monitoring Law, or SML) sets an overarching objective to “continuously improve soil health in the Union with the view to achieve healthy soils by 2050”. However, it does not set any legally-binding and time-bound targets to ensure the achievement of this objective. This technical briefing outlines what needs to be done to establishing a robust governance structure.
