Each chapter is written to fit a standard analytical framework, which is outlined in Chapter 2. Why these five actors? The Netherlands is a well-known environmental leader in the EU and has taken active steps to implement EPI in the EU and at home (EEA 2005b). Although it is not an especially consistent long-term leader of EU environmental policy, the OECD (2002b) has recently praised the UK’s efforts to implement EPI at home and in the EU; its internal EU coordination system is widely known and very much admired (Kassim et al.
