The acquis comprises approximately 300 legal instruments, mostly in the form of directives. As mentioned in Section I, in broad terms the acquis covers environmental protection, polluting and other activities, production processes, procedures and procedural rights as well as products. Apart from laws that treat cross-cutting issues (environmental impact assessments, access to information on the environment, combating climate change), quality and related emissions standards are set for air, waste management, water, nature protection, industrial pollution control, chemicals and genetically modified organisms, noise and nuclear safety and radiation protection.
The key EU environmental directives making up the acquis are given below. A more exhaustive list can be found at the Eurolex website.
