Abstract

This paper illustrates that European environmental law is not just another sectoral policy area of the European Union. Over the years it has proven to have had a major impact on various general doctrines of European law. In that sense European environmental law had (and still have) important spill-overs to general European law. I will focus in particular on the role of the European Court of Justice and its case law.

Keywords: environmental law, eu law
