EU enlargement and environmental policy



disaggregated social accounting matrices for the associated countries. Detailed trade flows as
well as information about remaining trade barriers (e.g. estimation of the non-tariff trade
barriers) are necessary. The market structure in the economies in transition is far from perfect
competition, thus several market imperfections in production, in the labor market etc. and
short-time adjustments have to be considered. Important fiscal features of the EU, as the
structural funds and common agricultural policy are still not incorporated. The extension of
the model to capture other greenhouse gases especially N
2O and CH4, resulting from
agriculture, might be useful.
