Abstract:

There are more and more derelict industrial and military sites (so-called brownfield sites) across Europe in need of regeneration, many of which are contaminated. EU structural measures have promoted brownfield regeneration in order to protect human health and the environment and mitigate urban sprawl. The Court assessed whether EU-funded regeneration projects met their objectives, whether the targeting of EU support was based on robust criteria and whether results were achieved at the lowest cost to the EU budget
