12 Environmental fiscal reform potential for the EU-28: Summary of political feasibility assessment and questionnaire Patrick ten Brink, Senior Fellow and Head of IEEP Brussels Office With input from Jean-Pierre Schweitzer, Policy Analyst at IEEP. 15 January 2016 Expert Group Greening the European Semester, Brussels
13 Introduction to the feasibility study Aim: Assess political feasibility of initiating suggested EFRs in each MS (scale of revenues?, over what timescale?) Take into account specific social, economic and environmental considerations in each MS Identify the key obstacles to EFR in each MS Provide insights for future CSRs Approach Identify key experts/ms representatives Design and disseminate a questionnaire Conduct interviews / assess written responses Develop a summary for each MS and EU-wide synthesis on political feasibility 13
14 Challenges of assessing political feasibility Assessment of feasibility is inherently difficult and complex Subjective judgement, hence answer will vary depending on who is asked. One person s view cannot represent the position of a member state Nevertheless, has helped to bring out experiences difficult to gather from desk research Longer time frames helped respondents to go beyond current political positions Questionnaire responses compliments with MS comments and the expertise of the project team (including national experts), and the detailed assessment of EFR for each MS 14
15 Summary of Responses for Political Feasibility of Energy and Transport Tax Reforms 15 Please see Table 1 7 1: Summary of Responses for Political Feasibility of Energy Tax Reforms section 7.5 of the final report, and Table 1 7 2: Summary of Responses for Political Feasibility of Transport Tax Reforms section 7.6 of the final report

17 Summary of Responses for Political Feasibility of Pollution and Resources Tax Reforms 17 Please see Table 1 7 3: Summary of Responses for Political Feasibility of Pollutions and Resource Tax Reforms section 7.7 of the final report
18 Summary on Responses on the Feasibility of the Reforms Selected taxes Synthesis of responses General Comments Landfill Tax 2017 Could be implemented in the short term Vehicle Taxes 2017 Opportunities to build on a number of MS progress on vehicle taxes Single Use Bag Tax Packaging Tax 2017 This tax is uncontroversial but must be compatible with existing schemes Has increasing support via resource efficiency and circular economy discourse Air pollution Could be implemented in the medium term 18 Please see Table 1 7 4: Summary on Responses on the Feasibility of the Reforms section of the final report
19 Summary on Responses on the Feasibility of the Reforms Selected taxes Synthesis of responses General Comments Waste Water (BOD) Water Abstraction 2017 difficult to estimate Water taxation reform continues to face barriers for social and economic reasons. Some MS lag behind with infrastructure. Water taxation reform continues to face barriers for social and economic reasons. Some MS lag behind with infrastructure. Pesticide Tax 2022 A number of MS have agreements not to tax pesticides Freight Tax Passenger Aviation Tax Transport Fuels 2022 Would require EU cooperation to avoid cross border losses 2022 MS could learn from experiences from existing taxes to overcome economic concerns 2022 difficult to estimate Could be supported with a reform of the ETD, helping to address competition and fuel tourism concerns 19 Please see Table 1 7 4: Summary on Responses on the Feasibility of the Reforms section of the final report
20 Summary on Responses on the Feasibility of the Reforms Selected taxes Synthesis of responses General Comments Incineration /MBT Tax C&I/heating fuels Electricity Fertilizer Tax Aggregates Tax Would benefit from cooperation with MS with developed recycling systems 2030 This area continues to be sensitive due to distributional effects 2030 Could be supported with ETD reform, difficult in coal and oil reliant MS Difficult to estimate Difficult to estimate 20 Please see Table 1 7 4: Summary on Responses on the Feasibility of the Reforms section of the final report
21 Lessons Learnt A number of windows of opportunity have been identified including in the short term The framing of reforms and clear communication of their intentions and benefits will increase their acceptability Cooperation between Member States could support policy making and help to overcome concerns related to cross border fiscal heterogeneity The European Union can play a role in facilitating EFR Member States can benefit from cooperation, such as for waste management or vehicle taxes. Cooperation can also take place at subnational scales, accounting for regional or federal diversity, and the level at which competence resides for specific taxes Stakeholder engagement can help to overcome social and industry resistance to reform new study will look in depth at this 21
