The Environmental Protection Agency is organised into five centres: Centre for Rich Nature, Centra for Clean Water, Centre for Safe Chemistry, Centre for Green Production and Centre for Staff. The Danish EPA number approximately 900 committed workers with widely diverging backgrounds, training and skills. The international dimension is a prominent feature in Environmental Protection Agency work. In particular, EU cooperation constitutes a significant part of Danish environmental policy and monitoring. In protecting the environment, we must aim for simple, comprehensible rules that constitute the least possible administrative burden on business and the general public. At the same time we must ensure that fields of action are mutually supportive at both national and international levels. A high quality environment and sustainable growth go hand in hand.

ANSES undertakes monitoring, expert assessment, research and reference activities in a broad range of topics that encompass human health, animal health and well-being, and plant health.

The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge is responsible for the proposal and execution of the Government's policy on climate, energy and environment, the transition to a more ecological production and  productive social model, as well as the elaboration and development of the Government policy against the country's demographic challenges.

It corresponds to the Ministry of Health, the proposal and execution of the Government policy in matters of health, planning and health care, as well as the exercise of the powers of the General State Administration to ensure citizens the right to protection of health.

The Swedish Chemicals Agency is supervisory authority under the Government and we work to ensure that the companies' and society's chemicals control is managed in a good way. We strive to reduce the risk of humans and the environment getting harmed by chemicals and our goal is to prevent damage. We do this by conducting our own investigations and providing suggestions to help the Swedish Government tighten the rules on chemicals at both national and EU level.
