    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 1999 2004 Session document FINAL A5-0154/2004 17 March 2004 ***I REPORT on the proposal for a European Parliament and Council directive amending the Directive establishing a scheme for greenhouse gas emission allowance trading within the Community, in respect of the Kyoto Protocol's project mechanisms (COM(2003) 403 – C5-0355/2003 – 2003/0173(COD)) Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Consumer Policy Rapporteur: Alexander de Roo RR\340779EN.doc PE 340.779 EN EN EXPLANATORY STATEMENT EU Carbon economy goes global Just before the summer of 2003 the European Parliament adopted the Emissions Trading Directive in a second reading agreement with the Council under the inspiring leadership of our former colleague Jorge Moreira da Silva. We are now faced with the challenge of trying to reach a first reading agreement on the so- called "Linking Directive", which amends the Emissions Trading Directive (ET Directive). This will make it possible for EU firms to offset their efforts to reduce greenhouse gases by using Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI). A first reading agreement would be ideal in order to give our industry a good start and in order to show the rest of the world that Kyoto is important to us and that we act as though it were already in force. Our task is to do it well and to do it right in one go, because we will create a market of roughly one billion € for the first commitment period. If the EU commits itself to a 30 % cut in greenhouse gases by the year 2020, as the German and UK governments are proposing, this market would expand manifold! The rapporteur proposes two amendments which the EU industry will like: • Remove the condition that this "Linking Directive" will only begin when the Kyoto Protocol is ratified.

  • EU ETS Phase IV: GGG Statement
    Green Growth Group Statement: EU ETS Phase IV 9 July 2015 1. We welcome the increasing engagement of companies calling for robust climate policies around the world including sustained and ultimately interlinked carbon pricing regimes to support the cost-effective global low-carbon transition necessary to combat climate change and deliver competitive low-carbon growth. Reducing emissions at the necessary rate to meet the below two degree goal is a challenge, but one which presents significant opportunities for job creation and green growth. 2. We agree that to reduce business uncertainty, and stimulate investments in safe and sustainable low-carbon technologies and resources at the right pace, governments need to set early, clear, stable, long-term and ambitious low-carbon policy frameworks. 3. We look forward to engaging with businesses and other interested parties, to work towards this end both in Europe and internationally. 4. With this in mind, it is essential that the EU builds on past experiences and organises its carbon pricing regime appropriately. The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), the cornerstone of the EU’s low-carbon strategy, must provide the long-term, stable and effective low-carbon framework and strengthened price signal required by businesses and investors to drive the cost-effective low-carbon transition that Europe needs. 5. We welcome the recent trilogue agreement on the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) and finalising it is an essential first step towards effective reform. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure this ambition is maintained through further reform post-2020. The EU now needs to set the ETS on firm foundations for the long-term.

  • Dear President of the European Commission Barroso, Dear Commissioner Oettinger, Dear Commissioner Hedegaard
    President of the European Commission José Manuel Barroso European Commission 1049 Bruxelles/Brussel BELGIQUE/BELGIË Commissioner Günther Oettinger European Commission 1049 Bruxelles/Brussel BELGIQUE/BELGIË Commissioner Connie Hedegaard European Commission 1049 Bruxelles/Brussel BELGIQUE/BELGIË 17.06.2014 Call for a proposal on a binding energy efficiency target for 2030 in light of the forthcoming EED- review in July 2014 Dear President of the European Commission Barroso, Dear Commissioner Oettinger, Dear Commissioner Hedegaard, The signatories of this letter look forward to the forthcoming review of the progress towards the 2020 energy efficiency target. The current situation in the Ukraine emphasises the importance of reducing dependence on imported oil and natural gas. Reduction of energy consumption through energy efficiency is the most robust and cost effective means of increasing energy security and reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, and there is still a considerable economic potential for energy efficiency improvements in most areas. The European emission trading scheme (ETS) is currently only able to provide incentives in the electricity and parts of the industry sector, while other sectors like transport, buildings, trade, services and private households are not addressed by the EU ETS. Hence, there is a need for a new energy efficiency policy and target. Therefore, the signatories of this letter share the conviction that the forthcoming review of the progress towards the 2020 energy efficiency target should present a proposal for a binding target for energy efficiency in 2030. With this letter we wish to emphasise why energy efficiency must be at the core of the EU’s climate and energy policy for the period up to 2030 and beyond in a common framework that also includes an ambitious and deliverable greenhouse gas and EU-wide renewables target and facilitates increased interconnection capacity.

O défice e endividamento, sendo muito graves, são apenas uma parte do problema português. Quando encaramos de frente os outros défices – produtivi- dade baixa, taxa de abandono escolar sem paralelo na UE, elevadas dependência energética e intensidade energética, grave dependência alimentar do exterior, baixo nível de investimento privado em investigação e desenvolvimento, compe- tências reduzidas dos nossos jovens nas áreas da leitura, matemática e ciências, níveis intoleráveis de desigualdade social, de imobilidade social e de pobreza – facilmente se constata que o nosso problema é estrutural, que não resulta apenas da falta de financiamento externo, e que não se resolverá sem uma alteração pro- funda do nosso modelo de desenvolvimento, das nossas práticas e instituições. Essa foi a razão pela qual, em Outubro de 2011, constituímos a Plataforma para o Crescimento Sustentável (PCS).

    2017 ECOSOC Forum on Financing for Development follow-up Expert Round Table A “Domestic and international public resources” (Action areas A and C) Wednesday, 24 May 2017, 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m., Trusteeship Council Chamber, United Nations, New York Tentative programme Moderator: Ms. Pooja Rangaprasad , Policy Coordinator, Financial Transparency Coalition Panellists: Mr. Darrell Bradley , Mayor of Belize City Ms. Elfrieda Steward Tamba , Commissioner General, Liberia Revenue Authority Mr. Philippe Orliange , Director, Agence Française de Développement Mr. Jorge Moreira da Silva , Director, Development Co-operation Directorate, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Background note Public finance is essential to providing public goods and services, increasing equity and supporting macroeconomic stability. The Addis Ababa Action Agenda recognizes the centrality of mobilizing and effectively using domestic resources to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and of complementing these efforts through scaled up and effective international public financial support, especially in the poorest and most vulnerable countries. This round table will discuss public financing policies and tools at the local, national and international levels to increase the availability and effectiveness of public finance for sustainable development investments. Sustainable development investments often take place at the subnational level. However, local authorities frequently lack adequate technical and technological capacity, financing and support to carry them out at the scale required. Political will and leadership are vital. For example, in Belize City, the city council has initiated a local economic development programme, spearheaded by the Mayor. The experience shows the importance of building relationships across the community to engage local people and the private sector.
