    Este trabajo analiza las relaciones entre la regulación industrial y medioambiental, y la innovación y el desarrollo sostenible en el contexto de una economía global. Se sostiene que la política industrial, la política medioambiental y las iniciativas comerciales deben estar integradas y actuar conjuntamente, además se hace especial hincapié en la promoción de la innovación tecnológica. De esta forma una regulación nacional consolidada puede ser el estímulo para la innovación tecnológica, organizativa, institucional y social, y ello va a suponer ventajas comerciales para las empresas precursoras que cumplen el reglamento de forma innovadora pudiendo convertirse en empresas líderes y desplazando a otras empresas que ofrecen productos no óptimos.

    This paper analyses the relationship between industrial and environmental regulation and sustainable development in the context of a global economy. It is argued that industrial policy, environment policy and commercial initiatives should be integrated and should act jointly. Particular emphasis is also placed on the promotion of technological innovation. Consolidated national regulations can thus act as a stimulus for technological, organisational and social innovation, which would entail commercial advantages for those pioneering firms that are the first to come into line with regulations, enabling them to become leaders and displace rivals that offer sub-optimal products

    Lan honetan industria- eta ingurumen-erregulazioaren, eta berrikuntzaren eta garapen iraunkorraren arteko harremanak aztertzen dira, betiere ekonomia globalaren testuinguruan. Bertan aipatzen da industria-politika, ingurumen-politika eta merkataritza-ekimenak integratuta egon behar direla, eta elkarrekin jardun. Gainera, bereziki azpimarratu nahi izan da berrikuntza teknologiaren sustapena. Horrela, erregulazio nazional sendotua suspergarria izan daiteke teknologia, antolakuntza, erakunde eta gizarte alorretako berrikuntzarako, eta horrek merkataritza-abantailak eragingo ditu araudia modu berritzailean betetzen duten enpresa aitzindarientzat, enpresa lider bihurtu ahal izango direla, optimoak ez diren produktuak eskaintzen dituzten beste enpresa batzuk ordezkatuz.
