Abstract
Transboundary environmental pollution established the need for European regulation at an early stage. When enforcing this legislation, European environmental administrative law – largely harmonised – interacts with criminal law that was until recently exempt from EU competencies. This study examines the interaction of German environmental criminal law with environmental administrative law of the EU and its member states, focussing on legislative technique as well as the tension between national sovereignty and the need for uniform sanctions throughout Europe, and paying particular attention to changes brought by the Environmental Criminal Law Directive.
