Traduction de «Droits d'émission échangeables » (Français → Anglais) :

Under a tradeable emissions scheme, a source would be given a certain number of units of emissions that it would be entitled to emit.

This Green Paper is intended to launch a discussion on greenhouse gas emissions trading within the European Union, and on the relationship between emissions trading and other policies and measures to address climate change.

The key policy options to be decided upon in establishing such a framework are essentially: which countries and which companies in which sectors will participate- How, and by whom, should the allocation of allowances be made to the sectors and companies involved in emissions trading compared to those not involved, and to individual companies participating in emissions trading- How can emissions trading build upon existing policies and measures such as technical regulation, environmental agreements and fiscal incentives, and how can equivalence of effort be ensured between companies involved in emissions trading and those subject to other ...[+++] policies and measures-

As emissions trading is a new instrument for environmental protection within the EU, it is important to gain experience in its implementation before the international emissions trading scheme starts in 2008.

One of these mechanisms is the international trading of greenhouse gas emissions ("emissions trading") [3], that would become operational from the year 2008 [4].

The Commission believes that a coherent and co-ordinated framework for implementing emissions trading covering all Member States would provide the best guarantee for a smooth functioning internal emissions market as compared to a set of unco-ordinated national emissions trading schemes.
