the required reduction below 2005 levels. In the
sectors not covered by the ETS, annual use shall not
exceed to 3% of each Member States' non-ETS
greenhouse gas emissions in 2005. A limited number
of Member States may use an additional 1 %, from
projects in LDCs or SIDS subject to conditions.
The use of these units under the ETS Directive and
the Effort Sharing Decision is subject to the limits
specified above which do not separate between CERS
and ERUS, but include additional criteria for the use
of CERS.

AAUS for the period 2013-2020 have not yet been
determined. The EU and its Members States expect
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.
The time-period of the Convention target is from
1990-2020, no carry-over units will be used to
achieve the 2020 target.
There are general provisions in place in the EU
legislation that allow for the use of such units
provided that the necessary legal arrangements for
the 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.
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.
