A critical review of current EU and Greek legislation on pedestrian rights and walking environment
Legislation regarding pedestrian rights and relevant environmental aspects in the EU states differs, though some basic principles are supposed to be applied in a uniform way. A critical review of current legislation in several EU states on pedestrians is attempted by focusing on the Rights of Pedestrians as they have been adopted by the European Parliament.
At a next step the paper attempts to provide a “reading” of important articles from Highway Codes in several EU countries. Work done within the framework of COST–358 project entitled “Pedestrian Quality Needs”, is used for this purpose. Some important differences are identified. Finally, the paper focuses on the Greek legislative environment by presenting the provisions which apply in the case of traffic studies and their implementation in urban areas. Some important gaps in the existing legislation are identified showing the way for necessary intervention.

© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (1/2011)
The plant protection law within the European Union has been continuously developed over the past two decades. Harmonized provisions for the placing of plant protection products on the common market were introduced by Council Directive 91/414/EEC of 15 July 19911 (hereinafter the “Directive”). Based on a progress report issued by the Commission under this Directive2, the need for a revision of the Directive was identified which should, in order to ensure consistency throughout the Member States and to provide for simplification, take the form of a regulation.
Umsetzung und Auslegung des Artikel 6 der Fauna-Flora-Habitat-Richtlinie (RL 92/43/EWG) in Großbritannien
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (4/2010)
Der vorliegende Beitrag1 gewährt eine Übersicht der Umsetzung von Art. 6 der Fauna-Flora-Habitat-Richtlinie in den verschiedenen Rechtsordnungen der Staaten England, Schottland, Nordirland und Wales sowie Gibraltar. Bis 1998 stand dem Parlament des Vereinigten Königreiches in Westminster eine einheitliche Gesetzgebungskompetenz grundsätzlich auf dem ganzen Hoheitsgebiet zu. Nur für Nordirland bestanden besondere Regelungen, sodass die beiden Gesetzgebungsverfahren getrennt abliefen. Mit dem Verfassungsreformprozess, der sog. Devolution, fand eine Verlagerung der Gesetzgebungs- und Verwaltungskompetenzen von der Zentralregierung zu den einzelnen „Teilstaaten“ statt.
Areas under protection: The institutional framework for the management of the areas under protection in Greece
© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
In the first part of this paper a reference is made, concerning the approaches and practices taken for the areas under protection, as the years go by. Specifically, in the early stages of the institution concerning the areas under protection, the so called absolute protection of natural areas with the complete exclusion of human activities came up. All this situation created many complex, social and economic problems. As a result, the concept above was abandoned and replaced by a new one, suggesting the sustainable use of natural resources, the well known as sustainable development. According to this approach, a European network for the Areas under protection, named NATURA 2000, was established.
