Ce document s’intègre dans une série d’études qui, avec une perspective de droit comparé, visent à faire une présentation du principe de protection de l’environnement dans différents ordres juridiques. Après avoir expliqué le droit positif et la jurisprudence d’application, le contenu, les limites et la possible évolution de ce principe sont examinés. La présente étude a pour objet le cas de la Belgique. Dans le cadre d’une politique d’utilisation durable de l’environnement, objectif d’ordre constitutionnel, le droit est amené à jouer un rôle primordial, en ce qu’il attache une force contraignante à des objectifs de conservation et en ce qu’il détermine les moyens pour les réaliser. Tout l’enjeu est d’ajuster les règles en vue d’atteindre les objectifs fixés par le législateur. La consécration dans la Constitution belge d’un droit à un environnement sain constitua indéniablement une avancée. Si ce droit n’est pas directement applicable, il influence néanmoins les conditions liées à l’intérêt à agir ainsi que la mise en balance des intérêts. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

The €650 billion Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) finances reform and investment measures in EU Member States until 2026 to mitigate the socio-economic upshots of the pandemic and foster the twin transitions. Article 10 of the RRF Regulation sets out conditions for commitment and payment suspensions based on the macroeconomic position of Member States. In cases where the public finances of EU countries are not in line with the EU economic governance framework and Member States do not make any credible efforts to correct macroeconomic imbalances, the European Commission may propose the enactment of RRF suspensions to the Council. Any suspension would stop the countries concerned from benefiting in full and on time from RRF grants and loans. The Commission has not proposed any such suspension so far.
