The principle of preventive action requires to prevent
pollution or other harmful impacts on the environ ment or human
health as much as possible, or, if it is unfeasible, then at least to
prevent further spreading of these harmful effects and their negative
consequences. The principle of prevention combines two EU environ-
mental protection principles – the principle of preventive action and
the principle of causation.
The principle of preventive action is implemented through such
re gu latory enactments which require, for example, compliance with
the environ mental pollutant emission standards or waste ma na-
ge ment regulations. Waste should be processed and disposed of as
close to its place of origination as possible (the proximity principle),
and each state or local government should, as far as practicable, by
itself treat and manage in an environ mentally sound manner the
waste generated at its territory (the self-sufficiency principle).
