✦ Synopsis

This book comments on fifty key judgments which the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance have given on European Community environmental law. For each judgment, the facts and procedures are described, followed by an extract of the essential parts of the judgment and a commentary which places the judgment in its legal, environmental and political context and develops the lines of reasoning of the Court. The cases selected cover all substantive and procedural aspects of Community environmental law, as regards the provisions of the EC Treaty, horizontal problems, water and air, products and noise, nature protection, waste management and procedural questions.
