The Yearbook of European Environmental Law

Thijs Etty is Researcher at the University of Amsterdam.Han Somsen is Professor at the University of Amsterdam

I commend this series to all environmental scholars, practitioners and students in European Environmental Law.What sets it apart from other publications of this kind is the breadth of its coverage and the acknowledged academic and practical expertise and experience of its Editors and Editorial Committee. Overall this series provides a comprehensive and informative overview of recent and current developments covering a broad spectrum of environmental issues affecting EU Member States. It is however of interest to a much wider audience and offers its readers in other parts of the world, a rich cache of well-written articles and other reference material that will easily serve as the basis for a comparative analysis with other environmental legal and policy regimes.
