11. Highlights that international climate action is the best recipe to prevent carbon leakage; looks forward, in this connection, to the COP21 climate conference in Paris; highlights the fact that an ambitious international agreement on combating climate change that creates a level-playing field for all countries prepared to cooperate at multilateral level and forge a coherent global environmental regime to reduce carbon emissions would be the most positive way of dealing with global emissions; underlines the fact that such an agreement would allow for fair competition for all base metal producers and would render considerations of bo ...[+++]rder adjustments unnecessary provided that its implementation was subject to effective monitoring and any adjustments that were required; points to the fact that such an international agreement must necessarily include reliable commitments by the strongest emitting countries; also points to the need for compliance with social and environmental standards in this connection, in order to create a level playing field;

24. Recognises that the ETS is experiencing problems not originally anticipated, and that the accumulating surplus of allowances will depress the incentive to promote low carbon investments for many years to come; notes that this endangers the effectiveness of the ETS as the EU's principal mechanism to reduce emissions in a manner that creates a level playing field for competing technologies, gives companies flexibility to develop their own mitigation strategy, and provides for specific measures to combat carbon leakage. Calls on the Commission to adopt measures to correct the failings of the ETS and to allow it to function as originall ...[+++]y envisaged. These measures may include:

Key follow-up actions: Conclude the negotiations with Switzerland in accordance with the adopted negotiating directives aimed at full integration of electricity markets Step up energy cooperation with the countries engaged in the EU accession process Deepen and extend the validity of the Energy Community Treaty beyond 2016, and focus on effective implementation Propose to partners a regional EU-Southern Mediterranean Energy Partnership initially focused on electricity and renewable energy market development in these countries by 2020 Encourage third countries to implement ambitious energy efficiency and renewable energy policies and carbon pricing, while ensu ...[+++]ring a level playing field for the power sector |

For example: materials from carbon nanotubes are 100 time stronger than steel, but 6 time lighter; silver nanoparticles on the surfaces of refrigerators, air conditioners and laundry machines act as antibacterial and antifungal agents; the biomedical field is manufacturing artificial bone composites stronger than stainless steel.

ECCP II will analyse what has been achieved under the first European Climate Change Programme and look for new options to reduce emissions, particularly in the fields of geological carbon capture and storage, passenger road transport, aviation, and adaptation to those effects of climate change that are unavoidable.

To some delegations it is decisive that the tax will only apply above a certain level of emissions related to the EC average; NOTES the progress made in the Ad Hoc Working Party on the Commission's proposal for a carbon/energy tax, and that a decision on a fiscal instrument of this nature will need inter alia to define the base for the calculation of the tax; PLEDGES its commitment to the rapid adoption of the proposals for the SAVE directive and ALTENER programme of the Community, and URGES the European Parliament to forward its op ...[+++]inion on these proposals before the meeting of the Council (Energy) in June 1993; STRESSES the importance of joint efforts and effective measures on the part of industrialized countries to combat climate change and therefore AGREES that the Community will also rapidly take an initiative in the OECD framework in order to promote the use of fiscal instruments with a view to an effective and coordinated effort to reduce CO2 emissions, consistent with the Community's own strategy; that at the same time it will continue a constructive dialogue with its other trading partners, energy producers and developing countries; WELCOMES in this context the US administration's proposal for new energy taxes as an important contribution which, together with the tax initiatives of the other OECD countries in this field, helps to meet the Community's demand that the effects on competitiveness of any corresponding tax initiative by the Community be reduced; URGES the Presidency to establish a basis for a decision on a fiscal instrument with a view to accelerating the work in the Council (ECOFIN).
