The effect that industry has on the environment is one factor that has forced the need for stringent regulation. The increase in legislation emanating from Brussels means that it is vital for environmental managers and their advisers to be aware of the need for compliance if they are to avoid potentially onerous penalties. EU rules also act as a guide to the national rules that apply throughout the member states and as a gauge to predict future developments. European Union Environmental Law covers:

safety and protection
waste management
water
air
indoor and occupational exposure
other EU environmental issues

Within each section the author incorporates case studies and sets out practical advice on the environmental issues that concern industry. Each chapter also offers an assessment of the completeness and future direction of EU legislation and highlights potential problem areas for industry. European Union Environmental Law contains a glossary of EU environmental terms and a checklist offering advice on implementing an informal environmental audit. Aimed at all those within industry who are responsible for the impact of their business on the environment and all practitioners, consultants and students of EU environmental policy, this book is the essential practical guide.

From the Publisher:

Brussels generates the main environmental legislation which impacts directly on industry. These rules are ultimately implemented into national law but this process is very slow which means the role played by EU regulations is vital. Charles Lister aims to provide a practical outline of existing measures and the policies that shape them and also looks at the direction that future legislation is likely to take. Case studies are presented after each section, highlighting all the potential environmental issues that could arise in an industrial sector, thus providing valuable pointers for environmental managers.
