Zur Rechtsprechung des EuGH im Umweltrecht im Jahr 2017

The purpose of the paper – tied in with the case law overview for the year 20161 – is to provide an overview of the environmental case law of the European Court of Justice for the year 2017. The objective is not to cover the entire case law but to highlight selected decisions deemed by the author to be of importance, with reference to some additional rulings in the footnotes. The focus is on summarising the latest developments and,where appropriate, briefly commenting on or placing thedecisions in the context of existing case law.The author largely forgoes further reference to bibliographic sources.
