Water Pollution Charge in Poland |
| Description |
|
The study presents an analysis of the Polish water pollution charge. It concludes that the charge's main role is to raise revenue. The marginal damages or marginal abatement costs have not been considered when setting the unit charge. The lack of research experience and available valuation methods, monitoring capacity and political will is identified as major impediments for designing new rates that relfect marginal costs or damages. |
