New laws boost innovation
An internal Commission review of EU innovation shows that new laws on car emissions, emissions trading and eco-design are boosting markets for cleaner technologies. It says Europe has improved its innovation performance and narrowed the gap with its main competitions.
The findings add weight to several T&E campaigns which all make the point that setting ambitious environmental standards at EU level will offer the best incentives to encouraging the growth of tomorrow’s technologies.
