Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely accepted that the future development of environmental law depends not on further legislation, but on more effective enforcement. Within the EC legal system, the conventional view is that the enforcement deficit is due to the fact that the environment is distinct from other fields of Community law. EC environmental law normally does not confer rights on individuals and may therefore not be judicially enforced in the same manner as rules concerning the internal market, competition and gender discrimination. The Enforcement of EC Environmental Law explores and challenges this assumption. Drawing from constitutional aspects of EC law, the author examines to what extent the general case law on procedures and remedies may be transposed to the field of environment, whilst at the same time taking stock of the existing environmental case law and the distinctive features of environmental legislation. In a critical exposition and assessment of 50 years of jurisprudence by the European Court of Justice as well as recent legislative developments, the author explores the potential of enforcement of environmental law through law suits by individuals as well as the European Commission. By demonstrating that the environment is not so different from other fields of law in terms of rights and remedies, the book provides not only new insights to the enforcement of EC environmental law but also to the central characteristics of Community constitutional law.

Download or read book The Untapped Potential of Horizontal Private Enforcement Within EC Environmental Law written by Josephine A. W. van Zeben and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The premise of the article is that horizontal private enforcement could improve the deterrent effect of public enforcement in cases where there is a low likelihood of public enforcement due to information dissymmetry or funding problems on the side of the public enforcer. In order to illustrate these problems, the first part of the article analyses three common modes of public regulation and enforcement within EC environmental policy. After discussion of the possibilities for horizontal private enforcement of EC environmental law by means of direct effect and consistent interpretation, the Aarhus Convention and the Environmental Liability Directive, it becomes clear that the theoretical potential of horizontal private enforcement has not yet translated into practical application. In the final part of the paper, the author proposes several changes in policy, which would allow the complementary strong points of private and public enforcement to be better used. These policy recommendations include: further research into the complementarities of public and private enforcement; differentiation based on the scale of the environmental problem and the adoption of environmental laws by means of regulations instead of directives.

Download or read book Enforcement of Environmental Law written by Ludwig Krämer and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is becoming ever more apparent that the enforcement of environmental law is a key problem of environmental law and policy. While the number of legal instruments at international, European and national level continue to increase, the actual enforcement of the relevant law remains insufficient, seriously impairing the effectiveness of environmental law. Based on the assumption that nothing undermines the credibility of public authorities more than law that is not applied, this research review analyses the most important articles on the enforcement of international, EU and national environmental law that approach the issue from multiple angles and endeavour to provide solutions for improvement. The review will be a valuable tool for scholars and practitioners as it provides acute insight into existing concerns and intends to stimulate discussion on possible ways to reform and bolster environmental law enforcement.

Download or read book Environmental Criminal Liability and Enforcement in European and International Law written by Ricardo Pereira and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The drive for harmonisation of environmental criminal standards at both the international and European level emerges from the increasing recognition of the scale and seriousness of environmental crime, the need to strengthen mechanisms of police and judicial interstate cooperation to combat cross-border crime, and the objective to ensure fair competition in a global economy and an integrated EU common market. The harmonisation of environmental criminal law requires a competent institutional framework able to convey the need for criminalisation of environmental harm while not overriding national aspirations to sovereignty in criminal matters. The book Environmental Criminal Liability and Enforcement in European and International Law assesses legal, theoretical and practical questions of harmonisation of national environmental criminal law and the mechanisms for cooperation by sovereign states under European and International Law, with a particular emphasis on legislative developments in the European Union, the Council of Europe and other international institutions, assessing the case for an extension of the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court over international environmental crimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Community plays a key role in the development of environmental law and policy. Over a period of three decades a substantial body of Community Law has emerged, regulating environmental quality, and giving rise to substantial litigation before European and national courts. This book introduces readers to the legal aspects of the European Community's environmental policy, placing these in their broader economic and political context. It explores issues such as the scope of the European Community's competence in this area, the implications of the subsidiarity principle, and examines the different instruments which the Community deploys in seeking to promote environmental protection. Particular attention is devoted to the manner in which environmental considerations have been integrated into other Community policies, and to discussing the tensions between ecology and economics in the context of Community policy. The book also highlights the practical difficulties surrounding the enforcement of EC environmental law.

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.
