English Abstract In view of the parliamentary elections in May 1994, the
National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection has
evaluated the environmental effects of the election programmes of six
political parties: CDA, PvdA, VVD, D66, GroenLinks and RPF. In contrast to
the quantitative findings concerning the other five parties (RIVM report
number 482515002), this note presents the findings of the qualitative
evaluation of the election programme of RPF. Three chapters deal with the
results of the environmental policy proposals for social developments
(primarily traffic, energy and agriculture) and areas of environmental
concern and its environmental costs. The outcomes are compared to those of
the first and second National Environmental Policy Plans (NEPP-1 and
NEPP-2). The main conclusion of this qualitative electroral environmental
outlook is that the proposed environmental policy proposals of RPF
correspond with those of PvdA and D66. The most outstanding difference
between RPF and the two parties is the restructuring of the trafic sector.
On this point the RPF policies correspond more closely with GroenLinks. The
proposed environmental policy proposals of RPF have more impact than those
mentioned in NEPP-1 and NEPP-2, but are insufficient to achieve all
targets.
