Recital 7
(7) Member State reduction efforts should be based on the principle of solidarity between Member States and the need for sustainable economic growth across the Community, taking into account the relative per capita GDP of Member States and existing reduction commitments under the burden-sharing agreement. Member States that currently have a relatively low per capita GDP and thus high GDP growth expectations should be allowed to increase their greenhouse emissions compared to 2005, but should limit this greenhouse emissions growth to contribute to the overall reduction commitment of the Community. Member States that currently have a relatively high per capita GDP should reduce their greenhouse emissions compared to 2005.

(8) To further ensure a fair distribution of efforts between the Member States of the contribution to the implementation of the independent commitment of the Community, no Member State should be required to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 to more than 20% below 2005 levels and no Member State should be allowed to increase its greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 to more than 20% above 2005 levels. In addition, no Member State should be granted a quantity of emissions for 2020 exceeding the quantity resulting from its reduction commitment under the burden-sharing agreement for the period from 2008 to 2012. Reductions in greenhouse gas emissions should take place between 2013 and 2020, with each Member State being allowed to carry forward from the following year a quantity equal to 2% of the greenhouse gas emission limit of that Member State and a Member State whose emissions are below that limit being allowed to carry over its excess emission reductions to the subsequentfollowing year.

Article 3 – paragraph 1
1. Until a future international agreement on climate change has been concluded by the Community leading to emission reductions exceeding those required pursuant to this Article, each Member State shall, by 2020, limit its greenhouse gas emissions from sources not covered under Directive 2003/87/EC by the percentage set for that Member State in the Annex to this Decision in relation to its emissions in the year 2005Each Member State shall, by 2020, limit its greenhouse gas emissions from sources not covered under Directive 2003/87/EC in relation to its emissions in the year 2005. No Member State should be granted a quantity of emissions for 2020 exceeding the quantity resulting from its reduction commitment under the burden-sharing agreement for the period from 2008 to 2012. The Commission shall adjust the percentages downwards for the Member States concerned.

Article 3 – paragraph 4 a (new)
4. If the greenhouse gas emissions of a Member State are above the limit set by paragraph 2, this Member State has to compensate for this underachievement in the next year by multiplying the excess greenhouse gas emissions of the previous year by a mandatory additional climate abatement factor of 1,3 . If the greenhouse gas emissions of a Member State are below the limit set in paragraph 2, it may carry over its excess emission reductions to the subsequent year.
