Environmental Enforcement Authorities (EEAs), sometimes called
Environmental Protection Agencies (EPAs), are the regulatory,
monitoring and enforcement agencies of national, state/provincial
and local governments worldwide responsible for implementing,
monitoring and enforcing environmental legislation. This
one-of-a-kind, authoritative handbook offers a comprehensive
assessment of the principles and best practice of EEAs throughout
the world with a focus on Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, east
and south-east Asia and various other OECD, transition and
developing countries. The book assesses structures, expertise and
capacity, financing, permitting, monitoring, inspection,
enforcement and EEA performance and future directions. It also
identifies best practice for creating or improving EEAs. It offers
substantial information for industry on the nature of compliance
with environmental regulations as well as vital information for
professionals, consultants, NGOs and researchers working at the
interface between government EEAs and industry.
"Environmental crime is a growing challenge for policy makers and
law enforcers. This is an important and timely study which examines
in depth how environmental crime is treated at national level
within the European Union and the impact of the 2008 EU Directive
on environmental crime on national systems. It will be required
reading by anyone concerned with making environmental law more
effective." Richard Macrory, Emeritus Professor, University College
London The aim of this important new collection is to explore how
environmental crime is controlled and environmental criminal law is
shaped and implemented within the European Union and its Member
States. It examines the legal framework, looking in particular at
Directive 2008/99/EC, and the specific competences of the EU in
this domain. In addition, it provides a detailed analysis of
environmental criminal law in seven Member States, focusing inter
alia on the basic legislation, the way in which environmental
pollution is criminalised and the main actors in place to enforce
environmental criminal law. In so doing, it provides a much needed
explanation of the evolution of environmental criminal law in
Europe at Union level and how this is implemented in selected
Member States.
