Abstract
El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar las posibilidades que el sistema jurisdiccional de la Unión Europea ofrece a los ciudadanos para reclamar el cumplimiento del Derecho del medio ambiente, cuando consideran que se ha producido una violación del mismo por parte de la Administración. El estudio se centra en las propias instituciones de la Unión, tanto en lo que se refiere a los actos objeto de recurso, como a las instancias de revisión. La manera en que se ha desarrollado la integración europea afecta profundamente a las posibilidades de recurso ante los tribunales de la Unión. Por un lado, la aplicación descentralizada del Derecho de la Unión por parte de los Estados miembros y el control de dicha aplicación por parte de los Tribunales nacionales ha provocado que, en la mayoría de los casos, no fuese necesario establecer un régimen amplio de acceso a los recursos ante el Tribunal de Justicia de la UE. Por otro lado, algunas instituciones y procedimientos de la Unión aún no están completamente adaptados a una organización que ha asumido gran cantidad de competencias en ámbitos cada vez más alejados de lo económico y, lo que es más importante, que empieza a asumir la necesidad de aplicar por sí misma algunos sectores del ordenamiento. Este último fenómeno es especialmente intenso en el campo del medio ambiente. Los problemas surgen cuando los ciudadanos que desean solicitar la revisión de los actos de la Administración europea se encuentran sin posibilidades de recurso, tanto en vía administrativa, como judicial. La regulación de los recursos judiciales ante el Tribunal de Justicia impide que los administrados sin un interés directo puedan recurrir actos administrativos y si dichos actos no han originado ningún acto interno en sus Estados, tampoco podrán recurrir a los Tribunales nacionales...
The aim of this thesis is to analyse the possibilities offered by the European Union’s legal system to its citizens in order to demand compliance with Environmental Law, when they consider that it has been violated by the Administration. The study focuses on the Union’s institutions regarding both the acts against which actions may be brought, and the review Courts before which they may do it. The way in which European integration took place deeply impacts the possibility to appeal before the courts of the Union. On the one hand, the decentralised application of the Law of the Union by the Member States and the control of said application by National Courts has, in most cases, made it unnecessary to establish a large access regime to appeals before the EU’s Court of Justice. On the other hand, some of the Union’s institutions and procedures are not yet completely adapted to an organisation that has taken on a long list of competencies in fields that are increasingly separated from the financial sphere and, what is more important, that starts to see the need to apply, of its own accord, some sectors of the legal system. This last phenomenon is especially intense in the field of the Environmental Law. Problems arise when the citizens who wish to ask for the revision of the European Administration’s acts find themselves with no possibility to appeal, in the administrative as well as in the judicial tracks. The regulation of judicial appeals before the Court of Justice prevents the citizens without a direct interest in the matter to appeal against administrative acts and if said acts have not resulted in internal acts in their Member States, they will not be able to have recourse to their National Courts...
