ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY OF THE EU

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY OF THE EU

Environmental Policy has a high importance for protecting nature and increasing the quality of living and health in the European countries. At the same time, it is known that the environmental factors have a direct impact on the economy and policy of the EU Countries. The environmental issues in the EU are evaluated within the scope of the Environmental Action Programs that are prepared since 1973. The Environmental Action Programs are under the dual responsibilities of the EU institutions and national governments.

The implementation of these programs are the most necessary action for a sustainable environment. The current Environmental Policy of the EU is based on the 7th Action Program, which will be valid until 2020.
