Abstract

The accession of Hungary to the European Union is a complex procedure. The harmonisation of the environment protection is an important part of that. According to the dominant interpretation this aspect implies the adaptation to the EU directives and regulations, and the harmonisation of the environmental programmes. The environmental programme of the EU is well characterized by its title `Towards Sustainability´. The present study examined the situation of the Hungarian environmental regulation and the extent of the environmental policy harmonises with that of the EU.
