EC ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
The European Community plays
a key role in the development of environmental law and policy. Over a period of three
decades a substantial body of Community Law has emerged, regulating environmental quality,
and giving rise to substantial litigation before European and national courts.
This book introduces readers
to the legal aspects of the European Community's environmental policy, placing these in
their broader economic and political context. It explores issues such as the scope of the
European Community's competence in this area, the implications of the subsidiarity
principle, and examines the different instruments which the Community deploys in seeking
to promote environmental protection.
Particular attention is
devoted to the manner in which environmental considerations have been integrated into
other Community policies, and to discussing the tensions between ecology and economics in
the context of Community policy. The book also highlights the practical difficulties
surrounding the enforcement of EC environmental law.
Joanne Scott is a Senior
Lecturer in European Community Law, Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of
London. She has published widely in the field of EC law and environmental law.
