Environment

Environmental pollution does not recognise national borders, thus the bulk of national environmental law is today based on EU legislation. In this regard, EU environment policy focuses on the protection of the environment and human health as well as the sustainable use of natural resources. cep analyses EU proposals on the handling of waste and chemicals, protecting rivers and seas, noise prevention, clean air, environmental impact assessments and environmental management by companies.
