Article 228(2) EC and the enforcement of EC environmental law: A case of environmental justice delayed and denied? An analysis of recent legal developments

Article Abstract:

The impact of the infringement action under Article 228(2) of the European Community (EC) Treaty in assisting in the enforcement of EC environmental law is considered. Evidence suggests that in many instances Member States are not deterred continuing to delay or obstruct the correct implementation of EC environmental obligations into national law and practice and hence questions are raised whether the penalty infringement procedure under Article 228(2) has proved itself fit for the purpose.
