La série de Policy Briefs du FEMISE intitulée MED BRIEF ambitionne de fournir une réflexion novatrice  pour la région euro-méditerranéenne. Les Policy Briefs contiennent une analyse succincte et politiquement pertinente sur d’importantes questions EuroMed et présentent aux décideurs politiques les points de vue des chercheurs FEMISE et des partenaires du réseau.

Le dernier FEMISE MED BRIEF, co-édité avec le Plan Bleu, est intitulé  » Marchés publics écologiques vs. Fiscalité environnementale: implications pour la politique environnementale UE-MENA  » et est disponible au téléchargement  en cliquant ici (en version anglaise).

 

Résumé: Les politiques environnementales font partie des priorités de l’agenda des Nations Unies et occupent un place de choix dans les agendas politiques nationaux et internationaux. Ce document porte sur la fiscalité environnementale et les marchés publics écologiques (MPE). Ces deux instruments de politique environnementale diffèrent par leur viabilité politique et par leur impact sur les consommateurs et les producteurs. Le MED Brief fournit une analyse comparative de leur efficacité dans des économies ouvertes et fermées et révèle les opportunités et menaces d’une politique environnementale (non) harmonisée à travers les pays. Les résultats permettent d’envisager des implications spécifiques dans le cadre de la collaboration environnementale des pays de l’UE avec ceux de la région MENA (Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord).

La liste des FEMISE MED BRIEF est disponible ici.

 

Le Policy Brief a été réalisé avec l’aide financière de l’Union européenne dans le cadre du programme FEMISE. Le contenu de ce document relève de la seule responsabilité des auteurs et ne peut en aucun cas être considéré comme reflétant la position de l’Union européenne.
