Abstract
The purpose of this Act is to promote environmental protection by providing measures governing the treatment of waste water, the abatement or reduction of air pollution, hazardous substances affecting the climate, noise and industrial waste. It also provides funding for environmental measures in neighbouring countries, the Slovak and the Czech Republics, Hungary and Slovenia, to improve the Austrian environment. The Act sets up three commissions responsible for advising the Minister of the Environment, Youth and the Family, on matters relating to the financing of environmental protection measures, and measures to promote environmental programmes, and for drafting environmental Directives. These Directives will spell out the conditions to be met in order to qualify for financing, the types of projects eligible for financial aid, the technical evaluation of project proposals, etc.
