This report is a part of a project about the impact of EU membership on \u00c5land. 25 years of EU experiences have been analysed by the \u00c5land Islands Peace Institute in cooperation with \u00c5land Statistics and Research (\u00c5SUB), commissioned by the \u00c5land Government. The report is available only in Swedish. <\/p>\n
The purpose of this report is to examine what the 25 first years of EU membership have contributed to within the field of environmental law on \u00c5land. It is clear, that the work burden on the environmental regulation side is relatively high. The EU environmental acquis has led to detailed environmental regulation on \u00c5land, prescribing both scientific data collection and reporting to the EU commission. The environmental field is well represented in terms of initiated infringement processes, however, this is understandable considering the large amount of legislation in the field and the similar situation in Member States. The EU demands all environmental legislation to be implemented, even such legislation that could be deemed irrelevant in the \u00c5land case, and hence, experienced as unnecessary bureaucracy or \u201cgravel in the administrative machinery\u201d on \u00c5land. During the years, the environmental field has been entrenched as prioritised within the \u00c5land politics, largely thanks to the EU. EU legislation has acted as a catalyst for a driven \u00c5landic legislative engine. From the \u00c5landic side, EU environmental legislation is often implemented through the incorporation of the corresponding Finnish act into the \u00c5landic legislation. The autonomous ambitions in this field are relatively small, with the exception of some areas that already before the EU membership had \u00c5landic legislation in the making, i.e. water, nature conservation, environmental impact assessment and waste. During the EU years, the environmental work on \u00c5land has found its place and form.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"forfattare":[],"redaktor":[],"sprak":[1401],"typ":[1402],"class_list":["post-33627","publikation","type-publikation","status-publish","hentry","sprak-svenska-en","typ-rapportserie-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/peace.ax\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publikation\/33627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/peace.ax\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publikation"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/peace.ax\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publikation"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/peace.ax\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publikation\/33627\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/peace.ax\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"forfattare","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peace.ax\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/forfattare?post=33627"},{"taxonomy":"redaktor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peace.ax\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/redaktor?post=33627"},{"taxonomy":"sprak","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peace.ax\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sprak?post=33627"},{"taxonomy":"typ","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peace.ax\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typ?post=33627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
