Table of ContentsReviews'While EU environmental law is becoming increasingly complex, this book provides an essential guide to the still growing body of rules and case law. With easily accessible and concise discussions of core topics such as principles, competences, implementation and trade, and various substantive matters including water, nature and climate protection, this book is recommendable to everyone who wants to get a quick but thorough insight into the history and current state of affairs of the body of EU environmental law.' -- Marjan Peeters, Maastricht University, the Netherlands 'Within the EU, environmental law has been harmonized almost entirely. EU environmental law, however, does not only dominate national environmental policies and law within the EU member states. It also has a global impact. As EU environmental law is considered to be both innovative and effective, it is often reviewed by policymakers around the world, as well as businesses that are active on global markets. This brilliant book provides an accessible, yet comprehensive and up-to-date overview of EU environmental law.' -- Jonathan Verschuuren, Tilburg University, the Netherlands 'Within the EU, environmental law has been harmonized almost entirely.
