Environmental regulations include all texts in the field of the environment. They draw their sources from the supranational and national levels. Many stakeholders are involved in defining the principles of these regulations, implementing them and monitoring compliance. Finally, they are characterised by their sectoral approach: water, air, noise, waste, polluted sites and soils, energy, health, chemicals, biodiversity, landscape, transport, etc.
The variety of sources, actors and areas of intervention led some authors to write in the 1990s that environmental regulation was more of a “crossroads law” or “patchwork law” (Pierre Lascoumes, Gilles J. Martin, “Des droits épars au code de l’environnement”, Droit et société 1995). Over the years, however, environmental regulation in France has gradually moved from a simple juxtaposition of rules to an autonomous regulation with its own code and fundamental principles. This regulation finds its source in European regulation, as well as in certain international treaties signed and ratified by France.
In order to overcome the difficulties of its sectorization, operators of installations classified for environmental protection (ICPE) benefit from an integrated approach that allows them to comprehensively understand environmental issues. However, this approach does not resolve all the difficulties generated by the profusion of environmental texts.
