General description and relevant information The European Union (EU) is increasingly influencing our political, economic and social environment. Knowledge of its structure and its operation is becoming a necessary instrument, both to develop different professional activities, and to better understand and assimilate the extensive, and often complex, information that comes from the institutions European. The main objective of this subject is to know the origin and the functioning of the European Union and its environmental policy. In this sense, it is intended to provide horizontal training on the European Union, emphasizing environmental policy, especially in those key issues that allow us to understand what the EU is and what about the environment. The program aims to cover the most important aspects of the institutional and legal structure of the Union, as well as the sources of its legal system and the functioning of its judicial system. The approach, therefore, is general and institutional in the first part of the subject. In the second part of the subject, interest is focused on the Union's environmental policy. We are dealing with a subject that could be described as having a horizontal impact, that is, it is essential to situate and understand both global and specific aspects of the European Union's environmental policy and its impact and impact on the Member States. The subject of Environmental Law of the European Union is taught in virtual mode.
