Produktinformationen zu „Environmental and Resource Costs under Article 9 of the Water Framework Directive “
Article 9 of the EU Water Framework Directive requires Member States to take account of the principle of recovery of the costs of water services, including environmental and resource costs (ERC). However, there is an ongoing discussion of what is, in concrete terms, meant by and due for recovering full costs in water policy. Therefore, the book provides an in-depth analysis of all related questions of recovering the costs referring to both the legal as well as the economic discussion of pricing water services.
Klappentext zu „Environmental and Resource Costs under Article 9 of the Water Framework Directive “
Article 9 of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires Member States to take account of the principle of recovery of the costs of water services, including environmental and resource costs (ERC). Whilst Member States in practice claim discretion when applying Article 9, there is, however, an ongoing discussion of what is, in concrete terms, meant by and due for recovering full costs in European water policy. To make matters worse, in its judgement of 2014, the EU Court of Justice abstained from clarifying pestering problems of interpreting the legal requirements. What is more, this debate still lacks insights from decades of scientific discussion on water pricing in environmental economics. Therefore, the book provides a current in-depth analysis of all related questions of recovering the costs (ERC definition, concepts and instruments of cost recovery etc.), referring to both the legal as well as the economic aspects of pricing water services in line with Article 9 of the WFD.
