Summary/Abstract: The unprecedented urban, industrial and agricultural development in the second half of the 20th century had a number of consequences (significant depletion of natural resources, concentration and accumulation of pollution, increase of technological risks) which led to widespread degradation of environmental quality. Finding solutions to manage these consequences pressed numerous states and international organizations to develop important instruments in order to protect and conserve the natural environment against involuntar and voluntar human aggression. EU is an important organisation involved in this process and its results regarding regional and global environmental problems represent a necessary solution for the future.
