Publisher's Synopsis
The Avosetta Series contains texts that present innovative discourse on European Environmental Law. This book, sixth in the series, is based on the findings of a research study on Access to Justice in Environmental Matters that the European Commission had commissioned in 2002 in order to provide input on the preparation of a proposal for a Directive on access to justice. In particular, the book assesses recent developments and the current situation concerning NGO's access to justice in environmental matters in a certain number of member states. And it presents empirical data on the number of cases brought by environmental associations.
