Article 193 TFEU
Article 193 TFEU lays down the principle of minimum harmonization for measures adopted on the environmental legal basis of Article 192 TFEU. Its wording suggests a constitutional obligation on the EU institutions and a clear limit on the scope of any measures adopted on the basis of Article 192 TFEU. Many measures adopted on the basis of Article 192 TFEU themselves also contain a similar provision, indicating that MS shall not be prevented from maintaining or adopting more protective measures. However, the ECJ has confirmed that also in the absence of such a specific provision in an environmental measure, the minimum harmonization principle applies.
