It provides a general picture of Community activities during 2001 including: institutional questions and the future of the EU; human rights and fundamental freedoms; the community economic and social area; citizenship and quality of life; enlargement; the role of the EU in the world; finance and resource management.

This is an accessible but sophisticated introduction to, and analysis of, the increasingly important role of the European Union in environmental policy. The book ranges widely over the emergence and evolution of the EU role in this critical field of policy, the relationship between policies made at the EU and member state levels, and the nature of the environmental policy process. The book ends with in-depth studies of EU activities in key policy areas--from air quality and waste management to global warming--and sums up the successes and failures of EU policy to date.
