After analyzing the response of the various stakeholders the experts recommended that the time is right to initiate economic instruments, that the initiatives could be taken in the form of one or more simple area or sector specific pollution charge schemes. Parallel activities in other areas like product charges, public disclosure, green rating and tradable permits would improve the acceptability of these instruments. Selectivity of instruments is required based on starting in areas where high damages have occurred, in areas where political will is existing, in areas where the institutional feasibility is known and in areas where one gets a local champion to lead the way through the performances required.
