Environmental justice; Access to justice; Aarhus Regulation
Résumé :
[en] The European Union (EU) is a Party to the Aarhus Convention, as are, separately, its 27 Member States. The EU’s composite and multi-layered system raises important issues as regards compliance with this Convention. According to the Aarhus Convention's Compliance Committee (ACCC), the EU failed to comply with its obligations under the Convention regarding acts and omissions by the EU institutions and bodies that contravene EU environmental law. As part of the European Green Deal, Regulation (EU) 2021/1767 introduced significant amendments to the Aarhus Regulation to bring the EU into compliance with the Convention. Building on EU case-law and legislation, this paper provides a critical analysis of the amended Regulation and its impact on the implementation of the access to justice in environmental matters at EU level.
