The transition in East Central Europe (ECE) created a general optimism which was reflected in a belief that a solution to the environmental problems faced by these countries would be found. There were great expectations regarding the blessings of the market economy, which would diminish state‐guided waste and pollution, the political openness which would arise from democratisation, and the positive developments which would result from the inward flow of Western investments and aid funds. Although the demise of central planning and Western funding led to improvements, new problems emerged. Environmental aid has turned out to be much lower and subject to more complicated conditions than initially expected. Moreover, financing and implementing environmental policy in a market context, without a proper regulatory framework, has proved difficult. However, the past few years have also shown some positive experiences with market‐oriented instruments as well as a strengthening of institutional capacity. In addition, a more flexible approach towards environmental assistance has been adopted and increasing emphasis has been placed on public participation. In this respect, the process set in motion by the Environmental Action Programme for Central and Eastern Europe (EAP) has been important
