Historyczny rozwój programów działań na rzecz środowiska w Unii Europejskiej by Monika Kosior

“…The intensive economic development within EU member countries leading to a significant environment pollution invoked in 70’s a strong need to introduce uniform legal regulations of a common pro-ecological policy, therefore, during the Conference in Paris in 1972, the European Commission was obliged to work out particular programs for the environment protection, realization of which was intended to be done in subsequent time intervals. Incorporation of the first two programs led to formulating principle rules of EU ecological policy that up till now are general determinant of environmental protection in Europe. …”
