The Investors' Environmental Guidelines will be useful to all those associated with the process of investment in Central and Eastern Europe. The Guidelines have been designed for rapid use by the investor who knows very little about the environment, as well as for the environmental specialist working in the corporate environment unit. The Guidelines, in particular the sections covering liability and regulatory compliance, will also be of particular interest to lawyers. The Guidelines give a unique and up-to-date coverage of environmental legislation which will be of far wider interest to policy makers, consultants, NGOs and others, both from within the region and from western countries. In particular, they will be able to compare how investor-related environmental requirements are handled in other countries in the region. The Investors' Environmental Guidelines is based on a major project executed by the European Commission, with the theme of `Harmonisation of Environmental Legislation and Standards' between Eastern and Western Europe.
