3Report on ETAP (2005-2006)
- Key priorities to take ETAP implementation
further - to increase demand in environmental
technologies by focussing on sectors with high
environmental gains, e.g. building, food and
drink, private transport, and recycling and waste
water industries increase green procurement in
particular for eco-innovative technologies,
products and services - to facilitate the development and marketing of
eco-innovation by mobilising greater financial
investments, establishing an EU Technology
Verification scheme to provide third-party
reliable verification for the environmental
performance of new technologies - to build on good practice of Member States
through a structured exchange of experience and
championing of promising practices in Member
States furthering national ETAP roadmaps will be
instrumental in delivering concrete progress on
the ground - to ensure a strategic knowledge resource on
eco-innovation that would bring together timely
and strategic knowledge for European public
organisations and financers.

11ETV in FP7
- Area 6.3.3.3 Environmental Technologies
Verification and Testing - ENV.2008.3.3.3.1. Harmonised approaches towards
the development of international technology
verification systems - In 2004, the European Commission launched the
Environmental Technology Action Plan (ETAP,
COM(2004) 38 final). In this context, the
establishment of a European Environmental
Technologies Verification system is believed to
favour and to speed-up the diffusion of
innovative technologies into the market through a
third-party confirmation of the performance of an
environmental technology. Previous RTD efforts
have been focussed on establishing European
networks of technology performance verification
in different sectors. The aim of this
coordination action is to support, integrate and
coordinate previous and on-going European RTD
efforts with existing and fully operating
technology verification systems outside the EU
(e.g. the US, Canada, Japan, Korea, Singapore,
etc.), with the ultimate goal of developing a
framework for international cooperation and
mutual recognition. The topic is open to all
countries outside the EU having an established
(or wishing to establish) an Environmental
Technology Verification system. (Policy relevant
topic) - Funding scheme coordination and support actions
(coordinating type) - Expected impact Proposals should demonstrate
that the proposed schemes and protocols for
Environmental Technologies Verification systems
have the potential to be recognised
internationally

14ETV Seminar Testing and verification of
environmental technologies 3 October 2006,
Dipoli, Espoo FI
- Discussion notes on cost, time and acceptance
- Cost and time are relevant variables although
credibility and acceptance more relevant - A European system could save time as compared to
actual situation (no need of additional/national
testing) - Acceptance during the development phase
- The system has to support market penetration of
new technologies (procedures and testing
protocols) LINK

Envvironment, Merja Saarnilehto, ETAP HLWG 13
