Enforcing habits
Article Abstract:
UK's air pollution control industry is not flourishing as expected compared to the US and Germany. Growth in the industry is stultified by the lack of environmental law enforcement of local authorities and the leniency of courts in punishing gross offenders. To promote development of the pollution control industry, the Environmental Industries Commission (EIC) has launched its Export Services Co (ESC). With the EIC-ESC, manufacturers of environmental technologies can easily market their products internationally.
