Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the unique process of legal evolution in the field of environmental law, which is denoted as constitutionalisation of the environmental protection in the EU legal order. This notion refers to the process of transformation of this particular area of law, which is reflected in its novel, autonomous features and materialised through the normative and jurisprudential elevation of environmental objectives and principles. In the course of recent years, environmental protection has evolved from a sectoral policy to one of the core, transversal principles of the EU legal order. Grasped through the prism of the principles of integration and coherence, environmental protection has become an all-present and influential aspect of EU legislation, while at the same time reaching the status of a fundamental value underlying the constitutional dimension of the European Union as a community of law. This book examines this process on the basis of comparative legal analysis, the current practice of EU institutions, and the recent case-law of the Court of Justice of the EU.
Download or read book The Impact of Environmental Concerns on the Public Enforcement Mechanism Under EU Law written by Levente Borzsák and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The European Union, with only 7.5% of the world's population, is responsible for a major part of the contamination of the planet, and is a major contributor to the problems of the global environment. Fortunately, Europe has both the capacity and the experience to fight effectively against these problems, even in this 'twenty-fifth hour' of environmental degradation. This timely book identifies some of the weaknesses of the public enforcement mechanism inherent in Articles 258-260 TFEU, and suggests how that mechanism could be improved in order to promote the overall effectiveness of EU law and environmental law in particular"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book The European Union and Global Environmental Protection written by Mar Campins Eritja and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the EU can be a more proactive actor in the promotion of the principles of sustainability and fairness from a legal environmental perspective. The book is one of the results of the research activity of the Jean Monnet Chair in EU Environmental Law (2017-2020) funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ programme. The European Union and Global Environmental Protection: Transforming Influence into Action begins with an introduction of the key EU competences, instruments and mechanisms, as well as the current international challenges at the EU level. It then explores case study examples from four regulated fields: climate change, biodiversity, multilateral trade, unregulated fishing, and access to justice; and four unregulated areas: mainstreaming of the Sustainable Development Goals in EU policies, and environmental justice, highlighting the extent to which the EU might align with international environmental regimes or extend its normative power. This volume will be of great relevance to students, scholars, and EU policy makers with an interest in international environmental law and policy.
Download or read book Environmental Rights in Europe and Beyond written by Sanja Bogojevic and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-23 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing awareness of an impending environmental crisis coupled with a series of national and regional environmental disasters led, in the 1960s and 1970s, to the birth of the global environmental movement and the widespread recognition of the need to protect the environment for both current and future generations. Against this backdrop the concept of 'environmental rights' surfaced as a means by which claims relating to the environment could be formulated in legal terms and thereby safeguarded. In the decades that followed, this concept has come to encompass many different variations of legal rights, which this book seeks to investigate and assess.

Download or read book Reflections on 30 Years of EU Environmental Law written by Richard Macrory and published by ISBS. This book was released on 2006 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than 30 years have passed since the first European Community environmental program was adopted in 1973, starting the work on what is now a vast body of Community law covering almost any aspect of environmental protection. This book assesses what has been achieved to date and what could be improved for the future. The inspiration for this book was a conference held in Bremen to mark the retirement of Ludwig Kramer from the European Commission. Dr. Kramer has been a key figure within the Commission from the earliest days of Community environmental law and policy. The current pressures of enlargement, economic downturns, and the debates over the proposed EU constitution may suggest that Community environmental policy is now at something of a crossroads. The book is a timely reminder of the very real achievements of Community environmental law to date-but equally it addresses critical questions concerning its future direction of development.

Download or read book The Greening of European Business under EU Law written by Beate Sjåfjell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between environmentally sustainable development and company and business law has emerged in recent years as a matter of major concern for many scholars, policy-makers, businesses and nongovernmental organisations. This book offers a conceptual analysis of the principles of sustainable development and environmental integration in the EU legal system. It particularly focuses on Article 11 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), which states that EU activities must integrate environmental protection requirements and emphasise the promotion of sustainable development. The book gives an overview of the role played by the environmental integration principle in EU law, both at the level of European legislation and at the level of Member State practice. Contributors to the volume identify and analyse the main legal issues related to the importance of Article 11 TFEU in various policy areas of EU law affecting European businesses, such as company law, insurance and state aid. In drawing together these strands the book sets out the requirements of environmental integration and examines its impact on the regulation of business in the EU. The book will be of great use and interest to students and researchers of business law, environment law, and EU law.
Download or read book Property and Environmental Protection in Europe written by Gerd Winter and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a factory that pollutes the air. If the government closes it down, can the operator allege undue encroachment on his property? If the government remains inactive, can the neighboring farmer demand that his/her property must be protected? These two questions point to two dimensions of the interrelation between environmental concerns and property interests. Property is either used as a barrier to or as a quest for environmental protection. This book examines how the weighing up of property and environmental protection interests is determined by law. It discusses solutions found in the EU and in the Member States, looking both at regulatory and constitutional law. It is based on national reports, guided by a common list of questions. The book's crosscutting contributions highlight commonalities and differences, with a view to develop a European ius commune. This is framed by an analysis of the pertinent jurisdictions of the European Court of Human Rights, the Court of Justice of the EU, and Investor-State Arbitration. *** Librarians: ebook available on ProQuest and EBSCO (Series: The Avosetta Series - Vol. 12) [Subject: EU Law, Environmental Law, Property Law, Comparative Law, Constitutional Law]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vast and diverse body of EU law addresses an enormous range of environmental matters. This book examines a number of areas of substantive EU environmental law, focusing on the striking preoccupation of EU environmental law with the structure of decision-making. It highlights the observation that environmental protection and environmental decision-making depend intimately on both detailed, specialised information about the physical state of the world, and on political judgments about values and priorities. It also explores the elaborate mechanisms that attempt to bring these distinctive decision-making resources into EU environmental law in areas including industrial pollution, chemicals regulation, environmental assessment and climate change.

Download or read book Principles of European Environmental Law written by Richard Macrory and published by Europa Law Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precautionary principle, the polluters pay principle, and similar principles have become embedded in the language of contemporary environment policy. In this important new study, leading European experts in environmental law consider the legal significance of such environmental principles, both in jurisprudential theory and in practice before the courts. The development of the principles within the European Treaty is considered as well as the approach of the European Court of Justice to their interpretation. But it is the interpretation of environmental principles in front of national courts within Europe that forms the heart of the study, with chapters covering a number of the key Europe jurisdictions. The study, the first of its kind, presents a dynamic picture of environmental case law across Europe.
