'This interesting book provides a sound and systematic analysis and discussion of numerous key issues in EU environmental law ...The book endeavours to introduce the student to some particularly important areas of debate and/or concern in EU Environmental Law. The treatment has, of course, a legal basis, but is easily read by members of other disciplines, scientists as well as practitioners.' International Journal of Environment and Pollution 'The book provides an overview of the more important environmental challenges facing the Commission and the Community and undoubtedly will be a useful text for anyone interested in European environmental law.' The Yearbook of European Environmental Law
