    The Soil Monitoring Law will be the first-ever EU piece of legislation on soils. It will establish a harmonised soil monitoring framework across the EU, support the improvement of soil health and resilience, and require Member States to identify, assess and manage contaminated sites to ensure they do not pose a risk to human health or the environment.
