Manual of Environmental Policy

Looseleaf format includes two updates each year

'The Manual of Environmental Policy should be on the bookshelf of every environmental professional.....' - Don Smith, Corporate Environmental Strategy

Written by an interdisciplinary team of experts from the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP), the Manual of Environmental Policy is a complete and reliable source of information on European Union (EU) environmental policy. Its European outlook reflects the changing nature and expanding volume of environmental law, as well as the increasingly important role of the EU in developing environmental policy. It is a vital companion for all those who need to keep pace with environmental policy.

The Manual provides you with a summary of each item of EU legislation, a historical account of its development through the EU institutions, and highlights key information including entry into force, transposition and binding dates. It summarises how the legislation is implemented in the UK and the effect it has on UK practice.

The final section in each chapter, 'further developments', ensures that you are up to date with current developments. The subject-specific chapters are framed by an introductory chapter on the making of EU environmental policy, and four appendices: a complete list of all legislation contained in the Manual; details of all relevant proposals currently being negotiated in the EU; an insight into what to expect from the Commission in the near future; and a comprehensive list of useful websites.
