E.C. Treaty and Environmental Law

This work offers a rare insight into the policy behind the EU's approach to protecting the environment. It does this by considering in detail EU environmental policy as set out in the EU Treaty, and critically examines the mechanisms provided by the Treaty for policy implementation. Including both the Maastricht Treaty and European Economic Area in its analysis, it shows why EU policy has developed as it has, the strengths and weaknesses of the decision making machinery, and identifies where environmental regulation has been most and least successful. Clear view of the thrust of EU policy. Shows why EU environmental law has evolved as it has. Written by the leading specialist on the subject.
