Résumé

The present Declaration lays down the action programme of the European Communities in the environmental field. Part I of the Declaration outlines the objectives and principles relative to a Community environment policy and contains a general description of the projects to be undertaken under the programme of action of the Communities on the environment (namely, action to reduce pollution and nuisances, improvement of the environment and Community action and joint action by the Member States in international organizations). The overall aim pursued is to procure for human beings an environment providing the best conditions of life. The environmental policy should therefore (i) prevent, reduce and eliminate pollution and nuisances, (ii) maintain a satisfactory ecological balance and ensure the protection of the biosphere, and (iii) ensure that more account is taken of environmental aspects in town planning and land use. Title II of Part I of the Declaration lists out and defines the principles that should integrate a Community environment policy, such as the principle of prevention of pollution at source and the polluter pays principle.
