The country by country descriptions have been established by professional consultants. They follow a standard scheme for each country. The country chapter begins with a very useful outline of the administrative structure and legal system of the country, followed by chapters devoted to the horizontal matters: Environmental Liability, Environmental Audits, Land Use Planning, Environmental Impact Assessments.
