Abstract
This LLM dissertation was published by the Dutch Association for Environmental Law and was awarded with the Piet Gilhuis for the best dissertation from a Dutch university in environmental law (2012-2013). The thesis argues that environmental NGOs should be awarded private enforcement rights under EU law, based upon a critical comparison of the functioning of and experiences with action rights for environmental NGOs in Dutch and American civil procedure laws respectively.
