Summary:Protection of the environment is one of the major challenges facing Europe. Environmental damage has been growing steadily worse in recent decades. Every year, some two billion tons of waste are produced in the European Union Member States. The European Community has been criticized for its focus on trade and economic development at the expense of environmental considerations.
