This presentation is designed to highlight the areas where Spain faces significant challenges in order to comply with EU environmental practice guidelines. In each case, it looks unlikely that Spain’s own resources will be insufficient to introduce the number of changes required within the time frames stipulated. We therefore believe that these are interesting opportunities where foreign companies could play a welcome role in solving problems through techniques whose speed, accuracy, cost or other characteristics offer advantages over existing alternatives.

Most opportunities are connected with waste treatment, both municipal and hazardous, with particular emphasis on certain materials such as plastics and rubber, and including separation and energy generation. We shall also be discussing areas for which the Spanish government has budgeted generous sums, such as soil remediation and certain elements of the water distribution infrastructure, that offer exciting possibilities for companies with the right product.
