In the broader markets, Autos and Chemicals were the best performing sectors, with Healthcare and Telecoms underperforming. During the month, the UK government published a draft Climate Change Bill, the first of its kind to limit greenhouse gases by law. Under the bill, the UK's targets of a 26-32% reduction by 2020 and a 60% reduction by 2050 will become legally binding, with a series of five year "carbon budgets" to provide short term targets and to ensure that the government is held to account. A new statutory body, the Committee on Climate Change, will provide the UK government with independent advice and guidance on achieving its targets and adhering to carbon budgets. In the water sector the US House of Representatives passed the Water Quality Financing Act of 2007, which will authorize the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Water State Revolving Fund to the tune of $14 billion for the next four years. The bill is intended to improve wastewater utility infrastructure, which the EPA, the Government Accountability Office, and the Water Infrastructure Network estimate will require funding of $300-$500 billion over 20 years. Two other bills, the $1.7 billion Water Quality Investment Act of 2007 and the $125 million Healthy Communities Water Supply Act, were also passed targeting improvements in combined sewer overflows and projects designed to investigate alternative water sources. In the waste sector the US EPA proposed to modify the definition of solid waste rule to streamline regulation of hazardous secondary materials. The proposed rule would provide for the recycling of such materials as solvents and metals, saving $107 million a year from the reduced regulatory burden and increased level of recycling. In the UK, Chancellor Gordon Brown raised the standard rate of landfill tax by £8 a tonne to £32 from April 2008. The tax will continue to rise by £8 a tonne each year to 2010-11, further encouraging the adoption of advanced waste and recycling technologies. Stocks that contributed to the increase in the Company's NAV during March included wind turbine manufactures Gamesa (Spain) and Vestas (Denmark), up 25% and 19% respectively on the back of the bidding war between Suzlon and Areva for Repower. Tanfield (electric vehicles and powered access, UK) also gained 24% on anticipation of further orders for its zero emission delivery vehicles. On the downside, Verbio (biofuels, Germany) underperformed following a profit warning attributed to rising feedstock costs, the scrapping of a tax credit on B100 biodiesel, and pricing pressure caused by cheap Brazilian ethanol flows into Europe.
