Results of the projects :

• supply Member States pursuing direct tax policies with the feedback they are lacking on these policies. Policy makers of the four countries have the elements to make their tax policies more efficient ;

• facilitate adoption of support policies for RES-heat applications for private households in Poland and Lithuania ;

• provide reference cases for the countries where such measures do not exist as yet (principally CEECs) or in those countries which would like to add on to their current dispositions.
