EU ETS: Linking Presentation to ETG WG8 14 May 2007
Why aim towards linking? • Schemes already developing • Aim: one global price of carbon • Deeper & more liquid emissions market • Reduced cost of abatement • Politics: coordinated international response
Areas of work: • Background analysis leading to: • Revision of the Directive • Criteria for linking
Background analysis (and criteria) • Economic efficiency • Environmental Effectiveness • Legal issues • Political considerations
Review of the Directive • Developing Government position: • What needs to change in the current Directive? • What message do we want to send?
Criteria for linking • Coming out of analysis • Likely to take into account: • MRV • Stringency • Different designs and possible fixes • Certainty
Other linking work: • Engagement with other countries, e.g. USA (federal and state level), Japan, Australia etc • Sharing experience and providing advice • Encouraging others to take on board schemes capable of linking
