Description

Northern Ireland is lagging far behind the rest of the United Kingdom and Europe in terms of meeting its obligations to obey EC Environmental Law. This title is designed to assist and inform all those interested in the nature and role of EC law on the environment in Northern Ireland. It is intended to provide an accessible and practical guide through the vast maze of Community legislation and policy documents on the environment, and the growing case law of the European Court of Justice in this field. It traces the extent to which each Directive on the environment has been implemented into Northern Ireland law. It outlines the most recent European Commission proposals for new legislation and/or policy on the environment. It is intended as a stepping stone to further research in this field in that readers are provided with further reading, Internet sites and other information concerning contacts relevant to Community environmental law and its implementation in Northern Ireland. It is designed to highlight the relevance of EC legislation on the environment in practice.
