Notes: Data exclude emissions and removals from land-use, land-use change and forestry. All EU-15 Member States provided projections assuming existing domestic policies and measures. Several countries provided projections with additional domestic policies and measures. For following Member States the
additional effects of the use of Kyoto mechanisms is included: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Spain),. For EU-15 the effect of use of Kyoto mechanisms is calculated based on information from these nine countries. Projections for Poland cover only CO2 and

What the review is about
Improve the functioning of the scheme based on practical implementation experience
Streamline current scheme … More predictable allocation rules through
stable baseline years and/orlonger allocation period and/orderive future allocation from past allocation
More harmonised approach to new entrants and closures, based on experience during 2005-07 period
Further harmonisation in the area of verification …and expand to other sectors and gases, beyond

how?how? Companies vote for longer allocation periods (ten years or more) Benchmarking seen as interesting alternative, however most companies
