Abstract: The degradation of the environment has generated considerable debate regarding the need for specific tax policies aimed at encouraging changes in the behavior of individuals and economic operators. In Spain, the use these types of tax instruments has not produced satisfactory results given that their main purpose has been limited to the collection of taxes, overlooking their environmental function. Furthermore, preparatory work for the imminent tax reform has highlighted the opportunity to reverse this situation, although draft bills of law published to date do not appear to comply with that need.

Abstract: Eastern enlargement has been celebrated as the success story of the "transformative power of Europe". Indeed, accession to the EU significantly reinforced the processes of democratic transition and socio-economic modernization in Central and Eastern Europe. So it had for Spain and Portugal 20 years before. At the same time, accession posed a formidable challenge to transition countries. Policy overload and tremendous implementation costs met with weak state capacities largely tied up in managing the political and economic transition process. This paper examines how Spain and Portugal have coped with the adoption of and adaptation to European environmental policy when they joined the EC in 1986. We explore to what extent the governments of the two Southern European accession countries sought to enlist the help of business and civil society in taking on the environmental acquis communautaire giving rise to the emergence of so called new modes of governance.

Abstract: The study was performed in the province of Granada with the objective of determining the effects of the European agri-environmental policy to combat soil erosion on olive orchards of the region of Andalusia since Spain joined the EU (1986). To accomplish this objective we first studied the recent European normative about soil erosion. Secondly, an econometric analysis by probit models of farmers' participation in agri-environmental erosion schemes was developed. Finally an ordered probit model was estimated to test farmers' adoption of soil conservation practices with no tillage and herbicides. From the estimated probit models it is concluded that there are structural factors in farm and farmers that influence the decision of participating in plans to reduce the soil erosion, as well as characteristics of the plans, such as payments and advice to farmers. It is also noted that the European agri-environmental policy based on subsidies does not encourage adequately the environmental awareness of the farmer but perverts it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
