In 2010, the EU committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020 compared to 1990 levels. This objective was submitted by the EU-28 within the framework of the Convention, and there are no specific objectives for each Member State. Within the framework of the Energy-Climate Package, the EU has established internal rules that underpin the implementation of this objective. This is divided into two sub-objectives compared to 2005, one for the ETS sectors for the entire EU (target of -21% in 2020 compared to 2005 emissions) and the other for non-ETS sectors shared by each Member State (target of -14% in 2020 compared to 2005 emissions for France). Under the WAM scenario, projected emissions in 2020 in sectors not covered by the ETS is 16% lower than 2005 emissions. Moreover, the non-ETS objective is one to be reached over a period of time as opposed to by a given year. Given that emissions in France are lower than those resulting from the decision to share this effort in previous years, France is in possession of surplus allowances. Therefore, it will reach its 2020 objective.
