In September 2002 the EIA was closed for new applications because of insufficient
budget. The overrunning of the budget was possibly caused by the increased uncertainty
with entrepreneurs due to statements on budget cuts made by the new government
(Strategic Agreement, 3 July 2002). The Strategic Agreement announced
that 500 million Euros for energy and environmental issues would be restructured.
As a result, entrepreneurs might have decided to make investments in energy efficiency
measures or renewable energy earlier in time. Especially, early applications
and premature claims for wind turbines and turnkey applications in greenhouse
farming were submitted. However, a high number of these applications was also
withdrawn again.
Concerning the spending of the budget available for EIA, we see in the first years
of EIA that the budget is not used to its full extent. In 1997, 79% of the available
budget has been spent. As of the year 2001 the budget and the expenditures for EIA
became more well-balanced. Even overrunning of the budget took place some years
(see table 1).
