AAUS
Carry-over units
Any
information:
AAUs for the period 2013-2020 have not yet been determined.
The EU expects to achieve its 20 % target for the period 2013-2020 with the
implementation of the ETS Directive and the ESD Decision in the non-ETS
sectors, which do not allow the use of AAUs from non-EU Parties.
Other
mechanism There are general provisions in place in the EU legislation that allow for the
units under the use of such units provided that the necessary legal arrangements for the
Convention (specify) creation of such units have been put in place in the EU which is not the case at
the point in time of the provision of this report.
The time-period of the Convention target is from 1990-2020, no carry-over
units will be used to achieve the 2020 target.
other In December 2009, the European Council reiterated the conditional offer of
the EU to move to a 30 % reduction by 2020 compared to 1990 levels as part
of a global and comprehensive agreement for the period beyond 2012,
provided that other developed countries commit themselves to comparable
emission reductions and that developing countries contribute adequately
according to their responsibilities and respective capabilities.
