欧盟的环境与资源保护——法律、政策和行动

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION OF EUROPEAN UNION:LEGISLATION,POLICY AND ACTIONS

欧盟是各个成员国之间为消除贸易的环境障碍，首先在环境保护的共同标准上进行协商和签订条约，所以乃是以环境为中心，覆盖资源保护问题。现在欧盟已成为超国家的地区主权的实体。欧盟的环境保护局已经成了一个大袋子，把环境保护、资源保护、自然保护甚至与工农业生产有关的问题都包括了进去。它的好处就是有利统一协调。欧盟的环境保护在４０多年中，走过了从各成员国自行负责到形成共同的法律和行动，从工业环境为主到全面生态环境保护，从治理污染到主动预防，从国家到区域到全球行动。

The member countries of European Union(EU) have reached an agreement to the common standard in environmental protection,having gone through a series of discussions and negotiations.The agreement was meant to remove the trade barriers,centered on environmental protection and extended to cover the issues of resources conservation.Now the EU has become the regional political authority extending beyond the national borders.And EU Environmental Protection Agency functions as an umbrella,playing a comprehensive role in handling the issues of environmental protection,resources conservation,and biodiversity as well as issues of industry and agriculture.In the last 40 years,EU has gone through a process from individual responsibility to the common laws and actions observed by all its member countries,from focusing on the industrial pollution control to the all round efforts at reservation of the earths ecological system,and from emphasizing on pollution control to preventing pollution at the beginning.These experience has great value for China's sustainable development strategy.
