The relevance of environmental protection is caused by its importance for the current and fu-ture life of people on the planet. The research aims to examine the basic principles underlying the development and implementation of the European Union’s (EU) environmental policy. As a result, the sources of EU environmental law were identified, namely, international docu-ments whose provisions relate to the use, protection, and restoration of the environment. The principles underlying the development and implementation of the EU environmental policy were described, and their content and significance were assessed. In addition, the research examines the structure of the EU’s horizontal environmental legislation, which includes sever-al legal acts regulating a particular sector of relations. An assessment of the EU’s current ac-tivities in the field of environmental protection was made, accompanied by an analysis of the Eighth Environment Action Program. Thus, the main approaches to the control and regula-tion of environmental relations in the EU were established to realize the rational and compre-hensive environmental development of the states.
