Abstract

The article examines the European Community's legal framework for participating in international environmental agreements, focusing on the evolution of its external competence and the challenges inherent in this process. It highlights the role of mixed agreements, the division of competences between the Community and its Member States, and the influence of the Court of Justice in shaping these dynamics. The analysis underscores the tension between legal principles and political realities in the EC's external relations.
