International ETV links

The European Commission is participating in an International Working Group on ETV, together with the Canadian, Korean, Philippines and US programmes, with the following objectives:

  • Establish mutual recognition of environmental technology verification programs among participating countries to accelerate the development and deployment of environmentally sound technologies to address common environmental challenges;
  • Jointly develop verification procedures and jointly verify technologies addressing common environmental challenges or issues of international interest;
  • Investigate the possible application and/or development of an International Standards Organisation (ISO) standard for environmental technology verification and reporting, including a process for accrediting and certifying verification organisations;
  • Provide a means to engage stakeholders and facilitate international cooperation in support of transparent, environmental technology verification and reporting; and

  • Organise international meetings, workshops and forums to share lessons learned, demonstrate outcomes, build alliances and create pathways and modalities for technology transfer between developed and developing countries.
