Die Aufnahme Bulgariens und Rumäniens in die Europäische Union zum 1. Januar 2007 gilt mittlerweile als so gut wie sicher. Die Europäische Kommission hat Bulgarien und Rumänien ermuntert, sie könnten, wie vorgesehen, am 1. Januar 2007 der EU beitreten, eine endgültige Empfehlung unlängst aber bis zum Oktober aufgeschoben. Für den Umweltschutz werden bis 2013 beträchtliche Fördermittel aus den EU-Struktur- und Kohäsionsfonds bereitstehen, von denen auch deutsche Firmen profitieren können.

Licht und Schatten - Der Sachverständigenrat für Umweltfragen und das Umweltgutachten 2008
© Deutscher Fachverlag (DFV) (7/2008)
Der Sachverständigenrat für Umweltfragen lobt die Umweltpolitik in seinem Umweltgutachten 2008 für ihre Anstrengungen zum Schutz des Klimas. Zugleich sieht er jedoch noch große Defizite – vor allem beim Natur- und Bodenschutz.
Towards a new EU Plant Protection Regime – Legal Problems arising out of the Transition with Regard to Regulatory Approvals and Authorisations
© 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.
What Price Flexibility? – The Recent Commission Proposal to Allow for National “Opt-Outs” on GMO Cultivation under the Deliberate Release Directive and the Comitology Reform Post-Lisbon

“After a reform is before another reform.” This paraphrasing of a famous saying from the world of football seems to be a very fitting way to describe the status quo of the European policy on genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The functioning of the EU legal framework on GMOs has since its initial establishment in the 1990s been troubled by political disagreement, deadlocks in decision-making, strong public opposition in the Member States, and considerable delays in the process of authorisation of genetically engineered products on the internal market of the EU.
The New Strategy on Coexistence in the 2010 European Commission Recommendation

The European Union tried to establish a “coexistence” policy for the cultivation and processing of GM and non-GM products after the political agreement that put an end to the 1999-2004 moratorium. Consequently, coexistence is part of this gentlemen’s agreement between States with pro and anti-GMO positions.
EU GM Crop Regulation: A Road to Resolution or a Regulatory Roundabout?
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (12/2010)
Since first embarking on the road of risk management options for the regulation of recombinant DNA (rDNA) activities and use in 1978, the European Union (EU) has largely failed to create a regulatory and policy environment regarding genetically modified (GM) crops and their cultivation that is (a) efficient, (b) predicable, (c) accountable, (d) durable or (e) interjurisdictionally aligned.
