JJUA14229U EU-Environmental Law
The importance and influence of EU-environmental Law has
increased substantially during the last two decades. Sustainable
development and environmental protection are parts of the overall
Community policy. More than 300 pieces of legislation on
environment have been adopted, and more than 300 cases have been
reported from the European Court of Justice. The objective of this
course is to offer an introduction and to acquaint students with
this comprehensive field of law.
The first part of the course will focus on four subjects: The legal
implications of environmental principles, the relation between free
trade and environmental protection, the division of competences and

legislation and community legislation on chemicals.
