Environmental Integration in Competition and Free-Movement Laws

<em>Environmental Integration in Competition and Free-Movement Laws</em> engages in a comprehensive analysis of the obligation of Article 11 TFEU (integration of environmental protection requirements) in the three core areas of EU internal market law: competition state aid and free movement. It<br>develops a theoretical framework for integrating environmental and other policies and compares how environmental integration takes place within competition state aid and free movement law. In turn it paves a way for a more transparent and consistent integration of environment protection in these<br>three core areas of law. <p/>Structured in three parts this volume (I) offers a detailed analysis of the historical development of environmental integration including discussions of the various intergovernmental conferences which led to a number of Treaty changes shaping the obligation itself. (II) It investigates which<br>provisions and concepts within competition law state aid law and the market freedoms can be interpreted in order to provide a clear demarcation of environmental protection and these areas of law. (III) It analyses how competition state aid and free movement law allow for a balancing of the<br>environment against restrictions in cases of conflict.<br>
