A Study on the Freedom of Environmental Information in the System of Integrated Pollution Control in Britain.

与日本制度相比，我研究了英国先于其他欧盟国家引入的综合污染控制制度，认为它是一个可以从整体上控制环境污染的优秀制度；特别是对其信息披露安排进行了重点研究。有几点比日本制度更强，即对环境信息公开作为公众参与行政决策的前提条件作出了更为详细的规定；其中制定了提供机密信息的规则，使公众容易认识到环境状况，并制定了确保公众有机会检查登记册的规则。

I have studied, in comparison with Japanese regime, on the Integrated Pollution Control system which was introduced in Britain ahead of other EU countries, as being the excellent system which can regulate environmental pollution as a whole ; especially, I researched focusing on its arrangement of information disclosure.Some points were proved to be stronger than Japanese system, in that there enacted much more detailed provisions concerning environmental information disclosure as the precondition which enables the public to participate in administrative decisions ; and in that laid down the rules on the provision of classified information which makes the public easy to recognize environmental situations, and the rules to secure the oppor-tunity of public inspection into registers.
