The Reviews are supported by a broad range of economic and environmental data. Each cycle of the Environmental Performance Reviews covers all OECD member countries and selected partner countries. The most recent reviews include: Luxembourg (2010), Ireland (2010), Greece (2009), Finland (2009) and Turkey (2008).
