Abstract. The main directions of adaptation of the Ukrainian environmental legislation to the Environmental acquis of the European Union were analyzed in order to identify the problems that arise and to determine ways to solve them, to establish a reporting system in Ukraine for the implementation of EU directives and regulations. It was established that the implementation of almost every EU directive requires not only the adoption of domestic legislation, but also the determination of a specially authorized body for its implementation. Ukraine should not only adopt new legislative acts, but also borrow and transfer to domestic practice the best experience of European countries regarding the organization and enforcement of these laws. The Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine will be ultimately in charge of implementing the EU Environmental Acquis and cooperating on these issues with the European Commission's Directorate-General for the Environment and the European Environment Agency. However, other central and local executive authorities should also be in charge of implementing environmental protection measures in their respective sectors and regions. At the same time, the powers and related obligations of these bodies in the field of environmental protection should be clearly defined and, if possible, distributed among them.
Key words: EU law, environmental legislation, environmental protection legislation, environmental field, environmental protection, nature management.
