Abstract

European Union (EU) environmental law is a complex legal enterprise that has expanded EU legal imagination in three areas. First, there has been an evolution of legal thinking in relation to both positive and negative harmonization of the internal market as environmental problems have required the reconfiguring and restructuring of markets. Second in the implementation of EU environmental law in Member States, courts have had to interpret novel legal obligations in directives such as the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive and the Habitats Directive, as well as evolving thinking about direct effect and national procedural autonomy. Finally. EU environmental law has evolved legal thinking in relation to governance and in particular the framing of regulatory objects and the accountability of institutions.
