The Sixth Environment Action Programme of
the European Community 2002-2012
"EU environment policy is delivering
tangible results for citizens and has helped the European
industry to become a world leader in a number of high-growth
sectors. But despite this progress, global emissions of greenhouse
gases are rising, the loss of biodiversity is not yet under
control, pollution is still harming public health and volumes
of waste are increasing in Europe. The Commission is committed
to fully implement the current Environment Action Programme
in order to make significant progress towards tackling these
issues" explained the Commissioner for the Environment,
Mr Stavros Dimas when he presented the mid-term review of
the 6th EAP in 2007. The 6th EAP takes a broad look at the
environmental challenges and provides a strategic framework
for the Commission's environmental policy up to 2012.
