Abstract

Most European trade agreements are with the two blocks, the EU and EFTA, although there are some independent countries with individual bilateral agreements including Albania, Boznia-Herzegovina, Macedonia (Former Yugoslav Republic of) and Turkey.1 Both the EU and EFTA are themselves trade agreements, although the European Union is much more than a trade block, since it involves a considerable degree of political integration, with a parliament and environmental legislation and policies. The concern here, however, is with the FTAs that the two blocks have signed with other countries or groups and with other European countries’ trade agreements. While the EU encompasses extensive environmental activities, these were not part of the original trade agreement but developed more recently with the more complete integration of member state activities (see, e.g., Steinberg 1997). Several of these are covered in the previous two chapters dealing with FTAs in the Americas and their provisions will not be repeated in this chapter.
