OBJECTIVES:
To investigate the technical, social, economic and environmental consequences of the various feasible systems for the control of agricultural emissions of Nitrogen in Europe.
DESCRIPTION:
The research compares various possible Nitrogen levy systems on both inputs and surpluses and compares these with other abatement options. The possible consequences of revenue return from the product of the various levy systems are addressed. The comparison is expressed in the form of a Cost Benefit Analysis. The project addresses both the appropriateness of the instrument and the administrative level, at which it should be applied - whether locally, nationally or at the European level. The implications for the current pattern of trade and agricultural policy are addressed.
The research is made of a number of tasks, which include:
i the compilation of an inventory of appropriate policy instruments;
ii the characterisation of these instruments, both in terms of costs and benefits;
iii investigation of the appropriate level of application of the particular instrument;
iv analysis of the compliance of the policy instruments with World Trade Organisation and other trade related regulations;
v a description of the implication of the various instruments for the development of European and National Agricultural policy;
vi a synthesis of the material allowing the possibility of a judgment of the merits of the various options in terms of an holistic Cost Benefit assessment of merit followed by an appropriate dissemination strategy.
