摘要：The paper aims to describe a method to introduce and disseminate Best Available Techniques (BAT) in two key industrial sectors in three South Mediterranean countries: Egypt, Morocco and Tunisia. The method has been applied during an on-going European project named BAT4MED co-funded by the Seventh Framework Programme of EU. The paper illustrates the results of the methodology developed in the project and aimed at identifying two key common industrial sectors in the participating countries. The methodology has taken into account the economic and environmental relevance of the sectors and has selected the food and textile sectors as the sectors where the dissemination of BAT will have the highest environmental benefit for the countries. The paper concludes by illustrating a methodology for determining BAT at sector level (VITO, 2011) in order to provide support to policy makers and officers in general in the selection of BAT (Georgopoulou et al., 2008).
