The verified greenhouse gas emissions of installations unilaterally included in the Emissions Trading Scheme in accordance with Article 24 of Directive 2003/87/EC during the period from 2008 to 2012 should not be accounted for in the average quantity of verified greenhouse gas emissions from installations covered by Directive 2003/87/EC for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 as this would result in double counting of greenhouse gas emissions during future adjustments of the annual emission allocations pursuant to Article 10 of Decision No 406/2009/EC.

The annual emission allocation for a Member State with a negative greenhouse gas emission limit pursuant to Annex II of Decision No 406/2009/EC for the year 2013 should be calculated by subtracting average quantity of verified greenhouse gas emissions from installations covered by Directive 2003/87/EC in the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 in the respective Member State from its average total reviewed greenhouse gas emissions for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010.

The average quantity of greenhouse gas emissions in the year 2009 of a Member State with a positive greenhouse gas emission limit pursuant to Annex II of Decision No 406/2009/EC should be calculated by subtracting an average quantity of verified greenhouse gas emissions from installations covered by Directive 2003/87/EC in the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 in the respective Member State from its average total reviewed greenhouse gas emissions for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010.

To help ensure such a market and in order to ensure further greenhouse gas emission reductions within the Community, and thus enhance the implementation of the objectives of the Community relating to renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy security, innovation and competitiveness, it is proposed to allow the annual use by Member States of credits from greenhouse gas emission reduction projects in third countries, up to a quantity representing 3 % of the greenhouse gas emissions of each Member State not covered under Directive 2003/87/EC in 2005, or in other Member States, until an international agreement on climate change has been re ...[+++]ached.

Some MS are developing specific methodologies to measure the potential greenhouse gas emissions of particular P others set a target of "carbon neutrality" (i.e. the implementation of the PP should not result in an increase of greenhouse gas emissions) or identify impacts on climate change in terms of an expected reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
