- Title
The Different Roads to Judicial Coherence in Public Environmental Law.

- Abstract
This paper deals with the development of procedural judicial coherence in environmental matters in the European Union with a special focus on recent reforms in England, Germany and the Netherlands. On the one side, this development was triggered by the implementation of procedural obligations arising from the Aarhus Convention and the interpretation of these obligations by the Court of Justice and national courts. This is exemplified in the liberalisation of German rules on standing for environmental organisations. On the other side, the creation of procedural judicial coherence is triggered by national legislators. An example of this is the process of restricting Dutch rules on access to justice in environmental matters. Both processes led to an approximation of litigation rules between these Member States. Other alignment processes concern rules on costs and time limits in the three legal systems selected, which are subject to reforms leading tofurther procedural judicial coherence in public environmental law.
