It builds on the 2009 guidance document for countries of Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA) “Determination and Application of Administrative Fines for Environmental Offences” and focuses in particular on how to calculate the economic benefit of non-compliance and remove it through an appropriate monetary penalty.

Working with a multi-disciplinary team drawn from across the organisation, the OECD provides a forum for the exchange of country experiences and the identification of good practices, and helps to improve the information base for meeting the water challenge.
