abstract
Market and environment are crucial but very often also controversial issues of both national and international policy. Their relationship is therefore a subject of disputes within the EU and among its Members States. The Treaty of Rome has experienced a substantial development in this field. The key provisions are to be found particularly in the articles 28, 29, 30, 95, 175, 176. The disputes have been focused on the right of the Member States to introduce (or maintain) stricter environmental standards than these laid down by the Community legislation and on potential distortions of the internal market. The approach of the Community based both on these provisions and on judgements of the European Court of Justice is governed by the principles of proportionality and reasonability. The article demonstrates the solution of relationship between trade and environment on the most well-known cases of the EC legislation and its enforcement. It reasons why the environmental concerns should have an equal status as the market interests-by the cases and by references to theoretical assumptions. The most important change of the Treaty of Rome connected with these issues was approved at the Amsterdam Summit in June 1997. The article 95 provides for the so called “environmental guarantee”. This provision allows Member States, under more favourable conditions than before, to maintain and introduce more stringent environmental standards than those set by harmonizing Directives. It was a result of Jong-term efforts of the “Northem” Member States strengthened by the newest ones, particularly Austria and Denmark.
