Legal comment: Why the ECJ halted operations at one of Europe’s largest steel plants

Our Environment experts, Kyoto Van Herreweghe, Tobias Burms and Manon Lauwers, have authored an analysis of the ECJ’s landmark decision to suspend operations at one of Europe’s largest steel plants. This ruling reinforces the link between environmental protection under the Industrial Emissions Directive and safeguarding human health, highlighting that economic and employment concerns cannot justify environmental non-compliance.

The article examines the decision’s impact on the steel industry, including stricter permit requirements and the broader challenges of aligning sustainability with economic objectives.

The article is freely accessible for one week, starting today. You can read it here.
