This book provides a description of German environmental law and provides the statutory texts in both the original German language and an English translation. It informs the reader of practice related problems and helps to overcome the language barriers.
<p class=copymedium>The book is meant for all those involved with decisions concerning the environment in a legal context. Neither environmental pollution nor the protection of the environment stop at individual national borders. Many international business organisations operating in Germany have to take the protection of the environment into account in their investment decisions.
<p class=copymedium>Foreign countries have a particular interest in German environmental law which, in an international context, is of a very high standard. This book emphasises those areas where German environmental law has special practical effects.
