Evolution of the implementation of LCT, LCA, LCC, and PEF/OEF in policies and communications (when relevant, more than one concept or method is reported per policy; no documents were found for the years 1995 and 1997). The documents explicitly mentioned in the figure represent examples of the most relevant policies/communications developed over time. References of the reported policies and communications per year: 1992: (EC 1992); 1994: (EC 1994); 2000: (EC 2000); 2003: (CEC 2003); 2005: (CEC 2005a, b); 2006: (EC 2006); 2008: (EC 2008; CEC 2008a); 2009: (EC 2009a); 2010: (EC 2010a, b); 2011: (CEC 2011b); 2012: (CEC 2012c); 2013: (CEC 2013a); 2014: (EC 2014a, b, c); 2015: (EC 2015a; CEC 2015b); 2018: (CEC 2018d; EC 2018a, b; CEC 2018a); 2019: (EC 2019b; CEC 2019a); 2020: (EC 2020a; CEC 2020a, b, c).
