title = {Beyond "Trading up": Environmental Federalism in the European Union},
year = {2016},
note = {This contribution analyses the stringency of EU environmental
regulations. Contrary to the proposition of an economic “trading
up” of standards the positive theory of environmental federalism
which is developed allows for an examination of political mechanisms
and effects of regulation. Empirical results of the study of European
and national decisions in EU vehicle emission legislation allow for
the conclusion that the adoption of strict rules is viable, even in
extreme sectoral cases where the concerned industry is economically
and politically powerful.The distribution of costs across the industry
and EU member states is the central mechanism which provokes strict
and lax rules. In vehicle emission legislation, systematic differences
between the regulation of CO2 and air pollutant emissions display.
Diesel particulate filters have been introduced comparatively late as
a result of a “baptist-bootlegger” coalition of environmental
associations and parts of the automotive industry.},
