This article analyses the emergence of a European Community environmental policy in the 1970s in terms of the Europeanization of the environment. There are three different types of Europeanization as established in the documentation: as establishment of institutions and policy making at the EC level; as the EC?s impact on the member states; and as a process of establishing transnational cooperation of societal actors across the EC. The article disentangles the Europeanization of the environment process, emphasizing the precedence of Europeanization in the context of the Council of Europe and the EC take over of policy ideas and principles from the international level. Furthermore, it addresses the rapid emergence of societal Europeanization, notably in the anticipation of European impact on member state legislation.
