Abstract: | “Environmental dumping” is a concern frequently raised in discussions on the potential risks involved in the eastern enlargement
of the European Union1 (EU).2 There is a general concern that the Central and Eastern European accession countries may be neither willing nor able to fully
apply the EU’s environmental acquis communautaire, the body of Community environmental legislation, once they have joined
the EU. As a result, these countries would benefit from a competitive advantage when selling their goods on the Internal Market.
This article asks whether, and in which specific cases, such concerns may be justified. |
