Abstract
In Chapter 2 of the Environmental Code, the main environmental legislation in Sweden, the general rules of consideration have been updated. Chapter 2, paragraph 5, and Chapter 15, paragraph 10, now explicitly contain the ‘waste hierarchy,’ which is the European Union’s (EU) approach to waste management. The waste hierarchy sets the following order of priority when managing waste: prevention, (preparing for) reuse, recycling, recovery, and disposal. As reported in the 2016 edition of this Yearbook, the hunting decision regarding wolves was previously not appealable to a court of law. The Supreme Administrative Court declared that the principle of effective judicial protection in relation to strict protection under EEC Directive 92/43 on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora (Habitats Directive) requires that decisions regarding protected species can be brought to national courts. The Supreme Administrative Court, therefore, found the restriction of appeal in the hunting regulation to be in conflict with EU law.
