General Principles of European Environmental LawEric EngleHumboldt University of Berlin - Faculty of Law October 13, 2008 Pennsylvania State Environmental Law Rev. Vol. 17, pp. 215-224, 2009 Abstract: This article outlines the general principles of European environmental law so that common law jurists can understand their potentials and limits as a means to protect the environment. Though general principles of law are important as a source or at least as a persuasive guide to law in civilian systems, these principles of law do not exist in the domestic law of common law states such as the U.S. except vestigially in the general principles used in equity proceedings (equitable maxims).
