Definition
The European Commission has adopted a wide range of regulatory measures to improve environmental performance of industry and to enhance envionmental friendly technology development. Thereby financial support for the development and up-taking of environmental technologies is another cornerstone of the EU policy approach. In January 2004, the Commission adopted the Environmental Technologies Action Plan that sets out a number of actions by the Commission and other stakeholders, such as industry or national governments, to promote an effectul exploitation of technology potentials. Another key challenge for European policy-making is to further changes in taxation and the use of market-based instruments. The European Commission has further, in a joint effort with the OECD, established a data-base on the use of market-based instruments.[1]
