Proposal Commission

A EU wide cap (40% of all emissions, 28 billion Euro)

CO2 allowances available in 2020: 1720 Mt

- 21% compared to 2005 emissions

Can be adjusted to stricter target

Increase scope: aviation to be included

Harmonised allocations rules

Basic principle for allocation is auctioning

Full auctioning power sector as of 2013

Partial free allocation to industry- in principle fased out by 2020

Report on carbon leakage by 2011 and make proposal if apprioate

Auctioning rights distributed to Member States: more rights to MS with lower GDP/capita
