Today’s Practice Sample Clauses

Today’s Practice. Co-operation and Licensing Combined Voluntary agreements (VAs), or covenants, are the central instrument of the internalisation approach. Typically, such agreements are negotiated between the state and industry, usually represented by the relevant branch organisation. For that reason, well-organised business sectors are an important pre-condition for working with VAs (Mol et al., 2000). Since the late 1980s, well over one hundred environmental VAs have been concluded in the Netherlands. They can deal with a wide range of envi- ronmental issues within one industrial sector, for example the dairy indus- try (Liefferink and Mol, 1997: 189–92). Alternatively, they can focus on one specific problem covering several sectors, for example packaging waste (Xxxxxxxxx, 1998). Yet another group is specific both regarding substance and sector, for example the series of Long Term Agreements (LTAs) on Energy Efficiency Improvement concluded between the Ministry of Economic Affairs and various sectors individually (Xxxxxxxxxx, 2000). Sometimes VAs have been used as a fully independent policy instrument. This was the case, for instance, with the 1991 Packaging Covenant, which established targets for the reduction of various types of packaging waste. In the context of the implementation of the EU’s Packaging Waste Directive of 1994, however, the European Commission required the covenant to be replaced by formal regulation. Interestingly, this was followed by a second covenant in 1997, containing more ambitious targets than the Directive in exchange for relaxation of certain procedural requirements (Xxxxxxxxx, 1998; Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx, 2000). In most cases, however, VAs are linked to more traditional regulation. Obligations agreed in covenants tend to be ‘affirmed’ afterwards, either by way of formal legislation or in the conditions of individual licences, not least in order to limit the risk of free riding (Liefferink and Mol, 1997: 193; Xxxxxxxxxx, 2000: 74). This said, and despite the apparent success of the approach based on negotiation and consensus with target groups, it is clear that traditional instruments, that is formal law and licensing, are still important in the Netherlands. Since the first attempts in the early 1980s, much has been done to further streamline licensing procedures. With the Environment Act (Wet Milieubeheer) of 1993, a number of formerly separate licensing procedures were eventually integrated into a single licence. It must be noted, though, that the ...
