Abstract
The policy of a sustainable development entails the environmental rationality as a criterion of social option. Among various mechanisms of social option in terms of environmental rationality, attention is paid to law. Although law shows an ambivalent character in this sense, a much more subtle approach to this mechanism makes it acceptable for a whole range of situations of social option. At the same time, law is obligatory as the instrument of correction, if there are certain environmental abuses by market, political pluralism and administrative system. The importance of law as an instrument of environmental protection is exemplified by the Netherlands, a country that has paid particular attention to it.
