Initiative summary:
The EU Eco-management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is a voluntary environmental management tool developed by the European Commission.

Austria submitted a request of recognition for the Ecoprofit scheme. The Commission has examined this request and wants to recognise parts of the Austrian scheme.
