An example of conflict is where there is already an active regional or industrial policy - pollution control costs should in such a situation be treated no differently from any other production costs and subsidization of this nature should be treated as a valid exception to the Polluter-Pays Principle. 1, record 2, English, - pollution%20control%20cost

Most industrialized countries waited until the second half of the 20th century before making a major effort to clean up many of highly polluted cities and conurbations. This has been achieved by a variety of methods including the use of cleaner fuels, more efficient pollution control equipment, improved combustion control, more effective dispersion by increasing chimney heights and the relocation of old industry or redevelopment away from existing polluted areas. 5, record 3, English, - pollution%20equipment

For example, consider the case where the appropriate policy for pollution abatement meant that considerable extra costs were imposed on some firms or industry in a certain area with the result that their competitive position would be badly threatened (nationally or internationally) and considerable local unemployment would ensue. In such a situation many authorities would be under pressure to abstain from the appropriate anti-pollution instrument and replace it by some measure that would be less efficient, from the resource allocation point of view, such as a subsidy to the industry concerned to install less-polluting techniques of production. 1, record 5, English, - antipollution%20instrument
