Abstract:
The air transport sector is one that is particularly conducive to market dominance, and therefore to potential abuse thereof. Characterised, for several decades, by the omnipresence of barriers attributable to the preferential treatment enjoyed by undertakings under the sponsorship of their respective governments, European civil air transport has undergone progressive liberalisation over the years, under the auspices of the European institutions.
The object of the present thesis is to assess how the provisions of Article 82 of the E.C. Treaty have applied to the air transport sector prior and subsequent to deregulation, and how they remain indispensable, in the wake of emerging new factors that tend to keep the market of scheduled air services oligopolistic.

Abstract:
Along with the rapid development of industry and agriculture, growth of population, improvement of urbanization level, China has been confronted with increasingly serious deficiency and pollution of water resource. In order to deal with the challenge as well as reduce waste discharge, it is necessary to strengthen all the possible efforts in controlling water pollution. Therefore, the control and management of water pollution is of vital significance to the development of national economy and social society, which is worth doing research on academically and practically. Water pollution management, in a sense, results from the urbanization and cosmopolitanization process. In this aspect, the European countries have acquired a lot of successful experience in water pollution control, which provides plenty of useful knowledge and reference for China’s ongoing efforts in water pollution control. This thesis, by taking a comparative analysis approach, looks into the European countries’ experience of water pollution control, makes evaluations on their managerial strategies, system and methods. Then it reviews China’s efforts on water pollution control, and analyzes the current situation of China’s water management, especially the water pollution control system of Huaihe River Basin, and as a result puts forward suggestions to improve China’s water pollution control system such as verification of property rights of water resources, enhancement of legal framework, investment and taxation policy preference, technological improvements, public participation and prevention measures.

Abstract:
Même si la réduction des apports de nutriments dans les écosystèmes aquatiques est généralement envisagée avec des approches « effects-based », ce n’est pas le cadre qui a été suivi dans cette thèse. En effet, dans une démarche de développement durable, il semble plus pertinent, de définir des mesures de contrôle de la pollution agissant sur les relations de cause à effet. Selon cette logique, la méthodologie proposée par la Directive Cadre sur l’Eau (DCE) pour protéger les écosystèmes aquatiques présente plusieurs faiblesses. Par le fait qu’elle réfère à certains principes de l’économie standard de l’environnement, l’analyse économique de la DCE pose plusieurs problèmes pour agir sur la causalité de la pollution. Néanmoins, la méthodologie proposée par la DCE est pertinente par le fait qu’elle recommande l’utilisation combinée de mesures techniques et d’instruments pour diminuer les dommages environnementaux. Conformément à cette disposition, l’effet de mesures techniques et d’instruments sur le secteur agricole et sur la chaine alimentaire l’englobant a été évalué puisque cette dernière est responsable de la majorité des émissions diffuses et ponctuelles d’azote et de phosphore dans les eaux de surface. La définition de mesures techniques en fonction de l’efficience de l’utilisation des nutriments (Nutrient Use Efficiency, NUE) dans la production agricole a été complétée par l’étude des instruments économiques utilisés dans la Politique Agricole Commune (PAC) pour développer une agriculture multifonctionnelle. Si la thèse concerne de manière générale l’eutrophisation des écosystèmes aquatiques, elle se penche plus particulièrement sur les pressions au sein du bassin de l’Escaut et sur leurs impacts jusqu’à la zone côtière de la mer du Nord. Des mesures techniques agissant sur les causes des émissions diffuses du secteur agricole et sur les émissions ponctuelles des stations d’épuration ont été proposées pour ce bassin. Ces mesures techniques ont été caractérisées prioritairement par leur efficacité environnementale (grâce aux modèles Sénèque-Riverstrahler et MIRO) et en fonction de leurs coûts directs.

Although reducing the load of nutrients in aquatic ecosystems is usually looked at through "effects-based" approaches, this is not the context which this paper has chosen to follow. In fact, keeping in line with sustainable development, it seems more relevant to define measures to control pollution which act on cause and effect relations. According to this way of thinking, the methodology proposed by the Water Framework Directive (WFD) to protect aquatic ecosystems presents a number of weaknesses. By the fact that it refers to certain standard economic principles for the environment, the WFD’s economic analysis poses several problems towards acting on the cause of the pollution. Nevertheless, the methodology proposed by the WFD is relevant, as it recommends the combined use of technical measures and of instruments to reduce environmental damage. In accordance with this disposition, an assessment has been made of the effect of technical measures and instruments on the agricultural sector and on the food chain encompassing it, since the food chain is responsible for the majority of diffuse and point emissions of nitrogen and phosphorus in surface waters. The definition of technical measures in terms of efficient use of nutrients (Nutrient Use Efficiency, NUE) in agricultural production has been complemented by a study of economic instruments used in the Common Agricultural Politicy (CAP) to develop a multifunctional type of agriculture. Although the paper deals with the eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems in a general way, it concentrates particularly on the increasing pressures in the Scheldt basin and on their impacts as far as the North Sea coastal zone. Technical measures acting on the causes of diffuse emissions in the agricultural sector and on point emissions in the water treatment plants have been proposed for this basin. These technical measures have been categorised in order of priority according to their environmental effectiveness (thanks to the Sénèque-Riverstrahler et MIRO models) and depending on their direct costs.

Abstract:
The economic growth is one of the main drivers of pollution. Climate change caused by the increase in emissions has harmful and irreversible effects on economies as a whole. Currently, climate change represents a challenging issue for policymakers. This research intends to contribute to the current debate on the factors that contribute to reducing emissions, supplying empirical evidence of the role of environmental regulation in this process. In detail, this research aims to bridge a gap in the literature by giving special attention to the effects of market-based regulation, regulatory incentive policies for renewables deployment, and foreign direct investment on carbon dioxide emissions. To accomplish this objective, it uses yearly data from 1995 to 2017 for 17 European Union (EU) countries. To control for some possible endogeneity, and to study the short- and the longrun effects individually, an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was used with a Driscoll-Kraay estimator. The main findings show that environmental regulation is effective in cutting CO2 emissions in the long-run. Additionally, the policies supporting renewable energy sources negatively affect CO2 emissions in both the short- and long-run. The effectiveness of these policies is further demonstrated, with foreign direct investment reducing carbon dioxide emissions, suggesting that the EU is managing to attract high quality and innovative investment. The pollution halo hypothesis was validated for EU countries.
O crescimento económico é uma das principais causas da poluição. As alterações climáticas causadas pelo aumento das emissões têm efeitos prejudiciais e irreversíveis nas economias como um todo. Atualmente, as alterações climáticas representam um desafio para os formuladores de políticas. Esta pesquisa pretende contribuir para o debate atual sobre os fatores que contribuem para a redução das emissões, fornecendo evidências empíricas do papel da regulação ambiental nesse processo. Em detalhe, esta pesquisa visa preencher uma lacuna na literatura, dando especial atenção aos efeitos da regulação baseada no mercado, políticas regulatórias de incentivo à implementação de energias renováveis e investimento direto estrangeiro nas emissões de dióxido de carbono. Para atingir esse objetivo, foram utilizados dados anuais de 1995 a 2017 para 17 países da União Europeia (UE). Para controlar alguma possível endogeneidade e estudar os efeitos de curto e longo prazo individualmente, o modelo Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) foi usado com o estimador Driscoll-Kraay. As principais conclusões mostram que a regulação ambiental é eficaz no decréscimo as emissões de CO2 a longo prazo. Além disso, as políticas de apoio às fontes de energia renováveis afetam negativamente as emissões de CO2 no curto e no longo prazo. A eficácia dessas políticas é demonstrada ainda mais, uma vez que o investimento direto estrangeiro reduz as emissões de dióxido de carbono, sugerindo que a UE está a conseguir atrair investimento inovador e de alta qualidade. A hipótese pollution halo foi validada para os países da UE.

The present study examines how the question of reparation for environmental damage that occurred during the operation of economic and industrial activities has been dealt with in international law and within the European Union legal system. In particular, the thesis endeavours to provide a comparative analysis of the Directive 35/2004/EC on Environmental Liability with regard to the Prevention and Remedying of Environmental Damage with relevant developments on the international level, and tries to define a conceptual framework with which to examine the relationship between the two legal systems. The need to find concrete and effective responses to the problem of environmental degradation has prompted the recourse to a plethora of legal instruments and determined the emergence of different approaches to the question of environmental liability. More specifically, the integration of environmental concerns into liability systems has determined a revision of the ultimate goals traditionally assigned to liability and an adjustment of its classic structures to new realities. Therefore, the overall legal framework on environmental liability in Europe and on the international level is gradually evolving towards the coexistence of traditional schemes of civil liability with new regulatory models for prevention and reparation of environmental damage. The starting point for the analysis is the recognition that appropriate and effective responses to the problem of environmental harm require a coherent and coordinated application of different legal tools, private and public, international and European. By looking at the interface between international law and EU law in the field of environmental liability, this study identifies different conceptual and regulatory approaches to the question of prevention and reparation for environmental damage. It explores potential synergies and interactions among them with a view to achieving the ultimate goal of providing effective responses to the problem of environmental harm.

Abstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Civil apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia
As análises disponíveis sobre a relação entre o nível de atividade económica e o número de passageiros aéreos apontam claramente no sentido deste número crescer em resposta a aumentos do Produto Interno Bruto, enquanto que no caso da carga acontece o contrário, ou seja, o aumento do volume (e valor) da carga antecipa aumentos do PIB. As conclusões anteriores são válidas quando se considera a economia mundial como um todo ou as economias continentais, mas não é claro que o mesmo aconteça quando se consideram economias nacionais ou regionais. Assim, a presente dissertação tem por objeto o estudo da relação entre economia e transporte aéreo, de passageiros e de carga, nos países da União Europeia, com especial ênfase em Portugal, e nas regiões NUTS 2 do Sudoeste Europeu (Espanha, França e Itália, para além de Portugal). Um aspeto que torna este tema especialmente interessante decorre do facto da evolução do número de passageiros aéreos ou do volume de carga aérea de um país ou região ter em princípio a ver, não apenas com a economia do país e da região, mas também com a economia dos países e regiões vizinhos – sobretudo a daqueles com que o comércio (de bens e serviços) é mais intenso. Em particular, pretende-se analisar se as relações são semelhantes para todos os países e regiões ou se existem padrões em função das respetivas características. Para realizar este estudo, recorrer-se-á a técnicas de análise de correlação e regressão e a técnicas de análise de clusters, e aos dados disponíveis na base de dados do Eurostat. Os resultados mostraram que a relação entre a economia e transporte aéreo existe embora seu o nível de significância varie entre países e regiões sem um padrão geográfico.
The analysis available about the relationship between economic activity and the number of air passengers clearly indicates that this number will grow in response to the increases on GDP, whereas in the case of cargo, happens the opposite, which means that the increase in volume (and value) of cargo anticipates the increases on GDP. The conclusions above are valid when one considers the world economy as a whole or the continental economies, but it is not clear that the same is true when considering national or regional economies. The purpose of this dissertation is to study the relationship between economy and air transport, passenger and cargo, in the European Union countries, with particular emphasis on Portugal, and in the NUTS 2 Europe Southwest regions (Spain, France and Italy, in addition to Portugal). One aspect that makes this topic especially interesting is that the evolution of the number of air passengers or the volume of air cargo in a country or region is supposed to be noticed, not only by the economy of the country and the region, but also by the economies of neighboring countries and regions - especially those with which the trade (of goods and services) is most intense. In particular, it is proposed to analyze whether the relationships are similar for all countries and regions or whether there are patterns depending on their characteristics. In order to carry out this study, we will use correlation and regression analysis techniques and clusters analysis techniques, and the data available in the Eurostat database. The results showed that the relationship between the economy and GDP exists, although the level of significance variates in each country and region without a geographic pattern.

In recent years, the environmental policy was extremely in vogue, in which avoided global warming related policy also like mushroom growth appearance. Regarding to the global warming, most direct influence except massive agricultural production, but also the air pollution cause by many industrial countries. The massive industry waste gas and the deleterious substance exhaust in atmosphere, cause ozone layer crack and greenhouse effect, deleterious substance scattering over and deposits can damage human health and the soil. I try to focus on the ‘air pollution policy’ of German and the European Union, to analysis the adjustment of the environmental policy of EU after receiving the “Germanization” , and the transition of well-contracted environment policy of German after effect by “Europeanization”, using “Europeanization” which developed during EU integration and “Germanization” which German reveal. In short, this paper discusses the process of environmental policy of German and European Union interacted, coordinated and final results with each other.
