After a brief exposition of the tasks about the protection against chemical, physical, and biological environmental risks, a demonstration will be given according to deliberations of our law system about the possibilities for veterinarians to cooperate in the legislative branches. A detailed examination on former activities in the fields of pollution and the food-chain are to serve as a model for the future legislative process in Germany with the intention to strive for a harmonization of the in parts independently developed legislative branches. The external harmonization, a long-term objective, is to be found in the form of an uniform environmental law. Veterinarians take a great interest to work in advance for this uniform law in the way they bring new perspectives by cooperating in the fields of environmental hygiene and toxicology for the protection of the environmental media, of species and the food-chain. In conclusion one finds a brief documentation about the impact of the adaptation of law and the process on the EC-level.
