Abstract
This paper deals with the steps being taken towards a full soil protection policy in the EU. It presents several examples of legislation and other policy instruments, which provide partial protection but notes the lack, to date, of a comprehensive approach at EU level. It indicates steps being taken in that direction including in the Sixth Environmental Action Programme and outlines emerging thinking in relation to a draft Commission Communication on soil protection. Finally it indicates some possibilities for soil protection within the EU common agriculture policy.
