Environmental problems and policy in the Single European Market

Henk Folmer () and Charles Howe

Environmental & Resource Economics, 1991, vol. 1, issue 1, 17-41

Abstract: The paper analyzes the direct and indirect environmental impacts of the completion of the Single European Market, both internally and with respect to the Rest of the World. Moreover, the principles of environmental policy are described. The main conclusion is that if the European Community and the member states develop effective and efficient policy instruments the positive effects of the completion of the Single Market could substantially outweigh the negative impacts.
