European Environmental Law (Europäisches Umweltrecht).
Description:... This paper is the 2003 German-language version of European Environmental Law (ISBN: 978-90-76871-76-9) and provides an analysis of legal issues of European environmental law in particular from a German legal perspective. What are the legal grounds for EC environmental policy and on what principles are directives and regulations based upon? To what extent preclude EC environmental directives more stringent national environmental standards? What are the requirements the Court of Justice has imposed on the Member States implementing environmental directives? To what extent can European environmental law be relied upon and challenged before national courts and the Court of Justice? How do the Treaty rules on the Internal Market and undistorted competition interfere with national environmental policy? The paper discusses all major environmental directives and regulations, integrating important judgments of the Court of Justice on their interpretation and its implementation in German law. Various German case law on the application of European environmental law is being taken into account. The text is in German.
