Abstract

Article 6 EC stipulates that environmental protection requirements must be integrated into other Community policies and activities. This book examines the extent to which, if at all, this treaty provision requires the Community policy maker to adjust policies so as to ensure that they are more compatible or even supportive of EC environmental policy. It analysis both theory (what should be) and practice (what is) of what has often been referred to as the ' integration principle '. (source: Europa Law Publishing)
