Europe's Water: An Indicator-Based Assessment

This is the third state and outlook report on the European environment produced by the European Environment Agency (EEA) since 1994. Looking back, the last report, published in 1999, concluded that despite 25 years of Community environmental policy, environmental quality in the European Union (EU) was mixed and that the unsustainable development of some key economic sectors was the major barrier to further improvements. That remains the EEA's key conclusion, despite significant progress on some issues demonstrating that environmental policy works. Were we to fast-forward to the year 2010, it would be the EEA's strong hope that in its next state and outlook report, the EEA would be able to report significant environmental improvements, not least as a result of reversing unsustainable trends in sectors such as energy, agriculture, and transport.

This report presents an assessment of the main and most recent developments in the use of market-based instruments in European environmental policy. The report covers a range of instruments which are used as tools to achieve environmental objectives. These instruments include: environmental taxes, charges and deposit-refund systems, environmental tax reform, emissions trading schemes, subsidies, and liability and compensation requirements. The report finds a steadily growing application of market-based instruments across Europe. It also identifies the need for cost-effective policy measures in order to make authorities more aware of the advantages of implementing MBIs. The report "Market based instruments for environmental policy in Europe" (EEA Technical report 8/2005, ISBN 9291677825) is a longer version of this report.

Eea Report 1/2006 Using the Market for Cost Effective Environment Policy

Energy resources are essential to the generation of industrial, commercial and socio-economic growth, but they also place considerable pressures on the environment, such as emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. This report analyses the environmental pressures created by energy production and consumption, and underlying societal drivers in order to measure the progress towards integrating environmental objectives within the energy sector in Europe, using a set of 24 EEA energy and environment indicators and related EEA Core Set Indicators. It updates the analysis made in an earlier EEA report 'Energy and environment in the European Union', (2002, ISBN 9291674680).
