The main objective of this project was to contribute to a broader development and application of the market-based instruments (MBIs) in the field of environmental policy, in particular environmental taxes. This involved improving the knowledge base, stimulating exchanges of experience and best practice, in particular on pollution and resource taxes, and making organisations better prepared to participate in the policy making process – both on the national and the EU level. Overall project objectives were achieved through the following specific tasks:
1. Preparation of an inventory of economic instruments to address pollution and resource use that are in place in the EU-28
2. Analysis of the use of MBIs addressing pollution and resource consumption as well as the impacts of environmentally-harmful subsidies
3. Regional workshops
4. Consolidation and distribution of results
