This book aims at analysing the impact of the European Ombudsman on European environmental law through a quantitative and qualitative analysis of complaints lodged with the European Ombudsman between 1995 and 2007. After a general introduction to European environmental law and to the institution of the European Ombudsman, a corpus of environmental decisions is examined in detail. First and foremost the complaints in infringement (Art. 226) cases are dealt with, because they often overlap with environmental complaints, and because they enabled the European Ombudsman to contribute to enhancing procedural safeguards. Then complaints concerning the right of access to documents are analysed in detail, given that this field emerged as the second most important sector based on the number of complaints.
