Newly published EU policy review shows need to address the challenge of resource efficiency
(03/09/2010 )

The European Commission published in August 2010, the 2009 Environmental Policy Review. The report highlights EU and Member States policy developments under the four priorities of the 6th Environment Action Programme (namely Climate change, Nature and biodiversity, Environment and health and Natural resources and waste) and indicates key issues for 2010 and the coming years.

Outcomes of the report suggest that there is a clear need to sustain the momentum for promoting green growth and for further EU and national policy measures to make Europe more resource efficient.
