EU competition rules and enviromental proteciton

The article analyzes the EU competition rules in terms of achieving the objectives related to environmental protection. Aim of the research is to determine whether the EU legislator has specified which of the above-mentioned goals outweigh one over other or whether these goals are equivalent. The article also examines how objectives related to environmental protection, which do not have an economic dimension, can be combined with, for example, the premises of individual exemption from the prohibition of agreements restricting competition, which have an economic dimension.
