With more than 200 legal acts currently in force at EU level, environment represents one of the most dense and far-reaching areas of EU law.

All these topics are governed by a number of environmental principles both at EU level and national level.

As negotiations on the TTIP between the US and the EU get started in July, we are looking forward to months of debate on the benefits - and possible drawbacks – of this potentially historic agreement. Heralded as a future source of growth for an economically dormant EU – and by some as the last chance for the West to write the rules on global trade - the TTIP has a lot to live up to.
