EU Environmental Law, 7th Edition

EU Environmental Law provides unrivalled analysis of EU environmental law and its relationship to both other sectoral policies and the laws of Member States.

EU Environmental Law examines the organisations involved in the law-making process and the decision making procedures, whilst covering the law in specific areas such as climate change and ozone depletion, biodiversity and nature conservation, products, water protection, air pollution and waste.

The new 7th edition has been completely updated to reflect a raft of case law and legislative developments. EU Environmental Law:

• Examines the role of EU environmental law at a global level
• Incorporates all provisions of the Lisbon Treaty, which introduced an explicit reference to the protection of the environment
• Includes two new chapters covering the extent the individual citizen and his/her environmental organisations are affected by EU environmental law and the effects of EU law and policy in developing countries and reversely, to what extent the EU is following global trends
• Deals with recent directives on air quality, marine waters, waste and the protection of the environment through criminal law
• Considers recent Court of Justice decisions
