1. INTRODUCTION: PRESENTATION, ENVIRONMENTAL POLICI AND
LAW
The Observatory of Environmental Policies is a research initiative organised
by the Ecology and Development Foundation created to periodically assess the
environmental policies of both the national and the Autonomous Communities
governments in an international, European Union and comparative context. It is
endorsed by the Ministry of Environment, which has collaborated with Thomson-
Aranzadi publishers in the publication of the first analysis containing a total of 31
papers ordered in three sections: «International and European Union environmen-
tal policies»“National environmental policies»and «Autonomous Communities en-
vironmental policies»(Observatorio de Políticas Ambientales 1978-2006, Pam-
plona, 2006).
The Observatory of Environmental Policies is divided into two separate units:
the Advisory Committee and the Working Group. The Advisory Committee compri-
ses representatives of the sponsors, creating an environment for the exchange of
ideas and experiences and for setting forth research priorities and criteria. The
Working Group currently comprises 40 professors specialised in Environmental
Law at 25 universities who draft and discuss their various studies(*).
(*). The idea for this project arose at the beginning of 2005 over the course of some extremely
enjoyable workshops in Cadiz. The team of organisers were: JoséFrancisco Alenza García,
Francisco Delgado Piqueras, Agustín García Ureta, Jesús Jordano Fraga, Demetrio Loperena
Rota, Fernando López Ramón, Blanca Lozano Cutanda, Alba Nogueira López, Luis Ortega
