Abstract
European Union (EU) environmental policy is the sole EU policy to proclaim a cluster of principles, including the polluter pays principle, the precautionary principle and the principles that preventive action should be taken and environmental damage rectified at source as a matter of priority. Although various understandings and definitions of these principles exist in international environmental law, the EU treaties provide no such definition. Lawyers are thus increasingly inquiring into the types of role these principles play, or may play in the legal practice. The Fipa case, examined in this case note, is one such example.
