Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the connection between the subsidiarity principle and national sovereignty in the contexto fo EU environmental policy. In addition to providing an historical account of this connection, the pater suggests that subsidiarity represents a Janus-faced concept capable of either supporting or undermining the legitimacy of EU environmental policy. By developing explicit criteria by which to apply subsidiarity, a number of areas are identified in which existing EU auhority could be replace by exclusively national action or laws which granted states significantly more discretion over environmental decisionmaking. Examples are the presented where this shift of power back to the member sttes has already been proposed and in some cases already occurred, recasting the balance between national sovereignty and supranational environmental constraints. Throughout the analysis, particular attention is paid to the efforts of Britain, a primary antagonist in the debate, to preserve its sovereignty over environmental policy.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Maastricht Treaty states that, on the basis of the subsidiarity principle, «the Community should not do what Member States can do». But how will it be applied to environmental matters? Will all EU legislation have to be deregulated? Can it be envisaged that only recommendations or guidelines will be issued? Will, in the end, the quality of the environment overall really benefit from this situation?

This book was released on 2002 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union principle of subsidiarity was introduced by the Maastricht Treaty and was the subject of a protocol in the Amsterdam Treaty. It was intended as a last-resort protection mechanism for member states in a minority on a particular issue in the Council of Ministers. In the first book devoted to the subject the author analyses these constitutional reforms and the reluctance of the ECJ to implement them, and argues that the principle will not be able to perform this protective role effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The principle of subsidiarity is a fundamental principle of the European Union. It has first been introduced in the field of environmental policy by the Single European Act in 1987 and extended to all fields of shared competencies by the Maastricht treaty in 1992. Since then much has been done to operationalize the principle, and subsidiarity has received increasing attention by the Union's institutions and Member States. The following contribution provides a brief appraisal of the role of the principle and of how it has influenced environmental legislation, so far.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1970s, the influence of the European Union in the area of environmental law and policy has steadily expanded, even though environmental policy continues to be a shared competence between the European Union and its Member States. As such, the allocation of competences between the European and national levels is governed by the principle of subsidiarity, which is aimed at maintaining a high level of decentralization. As it stands, subsidiarity is tested primarily, if not exclusively, against the presence of, or potential for, economic or environmental externalities of the regulated activity. Notwithstanding recent changes in the Lisbon Treaty to strengthen ex ante political control over the application of the subsidiarity principle, a rebuttable presumption in favor of an ever-increasing European role in environmental policy has developed.This Article aims to move beyond this rebuttable presumption by introducing additional criteria for competence allocation: heterogeneity of preferences and conditions between regulated jurisdictions and activities, and the potential for economies of scale and scope. In addition, a distinction is made between the different phases of the regulatory process -- specifically, norm setting, implementation, and enforcement -- also referred to as regulatory competences. By distinguishing between these stages of regulation, the relative importance of externalities, and the additional criteria mentioned above, each stage of regulation is explicated. Finally, this Article discusses the extent to which instrument choice can act as an alternative for the centralization or decentralization of competences. The potential of this complementary “competence allocation” approach to the interpretation of subsidiarity in European environmental law is illustrated by a case study of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme.

Download or read book The Principle of Subsidiarity and Its Impact on EU Environmental Law and Policy written by Nicolas Michel de Sadeleer and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since environmental policy is not vested exclusively in the EU, the principle of subsidiarity applies. It comes much more to the fore in the environmental field than in other policies such as the internal market. Indeed, environment policy entails constant cooperation between all institutional players. What is more, there are a number of good reasons supporting the view that EU environmental measures easily pass the hurdles of subsidiarity, including the member states' inability to solve environmental issues of a cross-border nature, such as ozone depletion and climate change. The horizontal dimension of the principle of subsidiarity must also be emphasized: as far as environmental issues are concerned, self-regulation and deregulation have been promoted thanks to the rhetoric of subsidiarity.

Download or read book Environmental Regulation in a Federal System written by Tim Jeppesen and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this important book Tim Jeppesen investigates environmental regulation in a federal system and addresses the underlying question of whether regulation should be decided centrally, by EU institutions, or de-centrally, by individual member states. Whilst simple economic reasoning presumes that transboundary externalities require central solutions and local externalities need local solutions, the author finds that the real answer is much more complicated. Part of the problem is the fact that EU institutions are complex organisations and their rationale and decision making is not always in the interests of economic efficiency alone, but is often based upon other criteria. The author demonstrates this using the example of subsidiarity, a principal which directly affects the distribution of competencies between the EU and individual member states. Although subsidiarity is supposedly underpinned by economic efficiency, he finds that it is in fact, first and foremost, a political concept shaped by EU institutions. The author goes on to examine the balance between the costs and benefits of central and de-central environmental policies, and demonstrates how an environmental regulatory authority can be allocated most efficiently among federal and state governments. Tim Jeppesen extends the basic theoretical issues to investigate the challenging problems which arise in the actual determination of policy measures in the context of the EU. This wide-ranging study of both the conceptual and practical dimensions of environmental regulation in a federal system will be welcomed by economists, political scientists, policymakers and students.

Download or read book Implementing EU Environmental Policy written by Christoph Knill and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines issues of censorship, publicity and teenage fandom in 1950s Britain surrounding a series of controversial Hollywood films: The Wild One, Blackboard Jungle, Rebel Without a Cause, Rock Around the Clock and Jailhouse Rock. It also explores British cinema's commentary on juvenile delinquency through a re-examination of such British films as The Blue Lamp, Spare the Rod and Serious Charge. Taking a multi-dimensional approach, the book intersects with star studies and social history while reappraising the stardom of Marlon Brando, James Dean and Elvis Presley. By looking at the specific meanings, pleasures and uses British fans derived from these films, it provides a logical and sustained narrative for how Hollywood star images fed into and disrupted British cultural life during a period of unprecedented teenage consumerism.
