ABSTRACT
In May to June 1995 Eurobarometer as part of its regular four-year survey on ‘The Europeans and the environment’ posed several questions regarding environmental tax reform to European citizens. These questions were addressed to respondents in the then 15 member states of the European Union and the survey findings in a way reflect the high hopes and optimism that prevailed at the time in the mid-1990s for environmentally related taxation in Europe. 1
