ECOLOGICAL DUMPING

Abstract: Ecological dumping refers a situation where national governments choose less strict environmental standards. In this context, dumping refers to producers obtaining hidden subsidies in the form of less strict pollution abatement requirements, which allows them to dump their products in international markets at prices that do not reflect the true cost of production. In contrast to normal dumping, ecological dumping is an activity performed by governments, not by companies. Further enlargement plans of the European Union towards the Balkans and Turkey, where environmental standards are less rigorous than in other member countries, fuelled the debates concerning ecological dumping.
