Bär, Stefani; Martin Cames; Michael Krug et al. 2000: Instruments and Options for Environmental Policy during the Accession Process of EU Associated Countries in the Area of Environment and Energy. Öko-Institut, Ecologic, FFU, Berlin.

This study identifies EU accession requirements for the Accession Countries in the area of the environment and energy, and the relevant specific circumstances in each of the five countries (Estonia, Poland, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Hungary). Based on the respective findings, it is possible to draw conclusions with respect to co-operation at the EU, intergovernmental and company level.

The 1997 Kyoto Protocol to protect the global climate is an incomplete agreement. Many of its provisions require a further specification in order to make the Protocol ratifiable for countries. In this project, concrete options and proposals for the elaboration of the Kyoto Protocol were developed for the German Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety.

Ecologic provided an overview of the state of implementation of the Montreal Protocol by assembling 15 case studies on the efforts of various EU Member States in implementing measures. The case studies focused on three aspects: planned phase-out scenarios and measures, legislation and policy instruments used to ensure implementation, and controlling instruments that provide an understanding of the actual extent of implementation.

Ecologic collected, compared and evaluated the practical experiences of EU Member States with implementing the environmental integration principle. Furthermore, Ecologic assessed to what extent these experiences could be used by other States. The aim of the study was to analyse the existing and planned national administrative structures for sustainable development.
