The author refers to the initial coherency and the importance of environmental crimes in regulating the liability of legal persons for criminal offenses and recalls that when defining the scope of legal protection of the environment, two basic features of criminal law - subsidiarity and fragmentation, should not be neglected, criminal law appears as ultima ratio.

To achieve this goal continuing education, as well as political support is needed.
