Europeanisation of environmental policy in the Netherlands ; Evropeizace environmentální politiky v Nizozemsku

Integration in the European Union (EU) in terms of the legal as well as economic spheres has grown in depth, scope and speed since its establishment. The EU has significantly affected various fields of policies within its member states, including the environment. This is understood as the 'Europeanisation process'. The Netherlands, considered one of the pioneering countries to establish environmental measures, has approximately 80% of its legislation in the environmental field derived from European legislation.

Integration in the European Union (EU) in terms of the legal as well as economic spheres has grown in depth, scope and speed since its establishment. The EU has significantly affected various fields of policies within its member states, including the environment. This is understood as the 'Europeanisation process'. The Netherlands, considered one of the pioneering countries to establish environmental measures, has approximately 80% of its legislation in the environmental field derived from European legislation. The thesis seeks to answer how Dutch environmental policy has been affected by the EU over the past twenty years. The implementation process of three environmental directives is analysed concerning water, biodiversity and air, to understand this process. The concept of Europeanisation and the related theory of goodness of fit is applied to argue that the implementation process of European environmental directives in the Netherlands is effective if there are no major adjustments necessary in the national setting, i.e. there is no policy or institutional misfit between domestic and European legislation, and no veto players impede the process. On the other hand, the implementation process is significantly more complicated if the directive needs extensive transformations. It is concluded that. ; Evropská integrace z právního i ekonomického hlediska se od svého počátku značně probloubila. Evropská unie (EU) významně ovlivnila různé oblasti politik v členských státech, včetně politky environmentální. Tento process je chápán jako "evropeizace". Nizozemsko, považované za vůbec jednu z průkopnických zemí zavádějících environmentální opatření, má v současné době přibližně 80% svých právních předpisů v oblasti životního prostředí odvozených od evropských právních předpisů. Tato práce se primárně snaží odpovědět na to, jak byla holandská environmentální politika ovlivněna EU za posledních dvacet let. Proces implementace tří environmentálních směrnic týkajících se vody, biodiverzity a ovzduší, je analyzován. Koncept ...
