  4. Aims of this project • To update the information in the database on the 15 EEA countries non OECD members (request by the European Commission) • To encourage the creation of networks at national level for a regular update of the database – not only environmental experts Through the OECD approach: involvement of national officials working on the instruments

  5. The OECD/EEA database and other institutions • European Commission: • Eurostat: starting cooperation with OECD to use the same data on revenues of environmental taxes in the EU27 • DG Taxud: recently launched a EU tax database – taxes over 0.1% of GDP (many environmental taxes are out) – starting dialogue • DG Environment: supporting the database • UN: • SEEA2003: cooperation with Eurostat on further definition of environmental taxes and subsidies (Swedish Statistics)

  6. The OECD/EEA database: added value • Not only taxes • More comparability with non EU countries (i.e. the non EU OECD countries) • Data collection on non EU countries in Europe (2 are with an acceding status) • “living” database: users can extrapolate data they need
