Abstract

This Directive establishes a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community in order to promote reductions of greenhouse gas emissions in a cost effective and economically efficient manner. This Directive also provides for the reductions of greenhouse gas emissions to be increased so as to contribute to the levels of reductions that are considered scientifically necessary to avoid dangerous climate change. This Directive also lays down provisions for assessing and implementing a stricter Union reduction commitment exceeding 20 %, to be applied upon the approval by the Union of an international agreement on climate change leading to greenhouse gas emission reductions exceeding those required in Article 9, as reflected in the 30 % commitment endorsed by the European Council of March 2007. The provisions hereby laid down shall encompass emissions from the activities listed in Annex I and greenhouse gases listed in Annex II.
