Summary
Editorial note
The main EC institutions with responsibilities for development of EC environmental law under the EC Treaty (as amended by the 1986 Single European Act, the 1992 Treaty on European Union, the 1997 Treaty of Amsterdam and the 2001 Treaty of Nice) are the European Parliament (Articles 189–201); the Council (Articles 202–210); the Commission (Articles 211–219); and the European Court of Justice (to which is attached a Court of First Instance (Articles 220–245)). The Economic and Social Committee (Articles 257–262) and the Committee of the Regions (Articles 263–265) also play a role.
Secondary environmental legislation adopted by the Community comprises regulations, directives and decisions, which are binding, and non-binding recommendations and opinions (Article 249).
