Environmental Impact Assessment presents the proceedings of the Seminar on Environmental Impact Assessment that took place in Villach, Austria in September 1979. The rapid pace in technological and economic development led to detrimental effects on the environment. In this regard, it is imperative that policies are formulated in order to avert future environmental damage. The forum seeks to develop methods, procedures, techniques, and policies on Environmental Impact Assessment, a concept whose time has come. The seminar is attended by an array of international experts, leaders, agencies, and organizations to discuss various issues on Environmental Impact Assessment. The seminar begins with a paper on the main procedural and institutional questions related to environmental impact assessment, which intends to be the jumping board for further discussions on the matter. Papers on the qualitative and quantitative methods of environmental analysis; integration of environmental considerations into the planning and decision-making process; public information and participation; problems with the international aspects of environmental impact assessment; and case studies are presented. In the end, the participants adopted a set of conclusions and recommendations, which are reproduced in full. Environmentalists, ecologists, policymakers, government and private planners, political leaders, scientists, and concerned people will find this book invaluable.

This is the Seventh volume of the "Hague Yearbook of International Law," which succeeds the "Yearbook of the Association of Attenders and Alumni" "of the Hague Academy of International Law," The title "Hague Yearbook of International Law" reflects the close ties which have always existed between the AAA and the City of The Hague with its international law institutions and indicates the editors' intention to devote attention to developments taking place in those international law institutions, viz. the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal and the Hague Conference on Private International Law. The "Hague Yearbook" contains in-depth articles on these developments and summaries of (aspects of) decisions rendered by the International Court of Justice, the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal. This volume also contains the papers of the Regional AAA Congress, held in Siena, Italy, in May 1994.

Access to justice in environmental matters has been a topic for increasing legal discourse and law-making in international, European Community (EC) and national arenas. The 1998 Aarhus Convention provides new norms of international law, inspired by the 1992 Rio Declaration. EC law on access to justice is being drafted and changes can be observed in the laws of the European Union (EU) members states. This timely book presents the state-of-the-art of access to justice in environmental matters in the European Union. It provides a thematic and comparative introduction of the topic, followed by thorough descriptions of EC law and the law of each EU member state. The chapters are written in English or French with a summary in the other language.

C.O.OKIDl1 I welcome the opportunity to prepare a Foreword to the book on Environmental Policy and Law in Africa, edited by Kevin R. Gray and Beatrice Chaytor. It is a pleasure to do that because the book is a contribution to the cause of capacity building for development and implementation of environmental law in Africa, a goal towards which I have had an undivided focus over the last two decades. There is still some belief in and outside Africa that for developing countries in general, and Africa in particular, development and implementation of environmental law is not a priority. This belief prevails strongly in many quarters of the industrialised countries. In fact, the view is held either out of blatant ignorance or by some renegade industrialists who fail to appreciate Michael Royston's 1979 thesis that Pollution Prevention Pays.2 That group, for obvious reasons, must have their correspondent counterparts in Africa to provide hope that industries rejected as derelict in the West or inoperable due to rigorous environmental regulation, can find homes to which they can escape and dump their polluting industries.

L’action qualité est fondamentalement tributaire de la rigueur accordée au processus expérimental ainsi qu’à la maîtrise des outils adaptés aux paramètres d’analyse. Faire de l’étude qualité une simple application statistique théorique serait le signe d’une vision tronquée des causes symptomatiques de la qualification des produits. Les thèmes traités dans cet ouvrage sont structurés selon le cheminement de l’action qualité et de la nouvelle organisation du travail. Contrôler des produits, c’est avant tout les surveiller et les conserver jusqu’à la fin de la mission donnée. La surveillance est l’observation du dépassement d’un pourcentage de rebuts fixé au préalable. Analyser les causes d’un éventuel déréglage du procédé tend à minimiser le pourcentage de rebuts. L’action d’accepter ou de refuser la cote issue du procédé de fabrication doit toujours s’accompagner d’un rapport en vue d’améliorer la fabrication. De nombreux cas sont traités dans ce volume didactique qui s’adresse aux techniciens qualité, aux universitaires et aux professionnels.
