Abstract

The paper deals with the impact of the European environment policy on the Member States. For the beginning, we analysed this policy as a horizontal one under the sustainable development. The next step was to present the new approach for the European environment policy including the 6th Environment Action Program. Some specific institutional actors support the synergetic character of the environment policy and insure the achieving of its objectives under the European Commission and the Environment General Direction. The European environment policy is use as a success example. The latest enlargements of the E.U. represent an example of good environment management, as well. Nowadays, the environment protection becomes one of the most important challenges to the world.
