(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. 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 subsequent year.

(9) In order to provide for flexibility for Member States in implementing their commitments, to promote sustainable development in third countries, in particular in developing countries, and to provide certainty to investors, the Community should continue to recognise a certain amount of credits from greenhouse gas emission reduction projects in third countries before a future international agreement on climate change has been reached. Member States should ensure that their policies for purchasing these creditsall commit to greenhouse gas emissions mitigation efforts in developing countries and therefore shall ensure that at least 50% of these credits are purchased from Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) so as to enhance the equitable geographical distribution of projects and enhance the achievement of a future international climate change agreement.

(13) The continued ability for Member States to use CDM credits is important to help ensure a market for those credits after 2012. To help ensure such market as well as 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, until a future international agreement on climate change has been reached, up to a quantity representing 3% of the greenhouse gas emissions of each Member State not covered under Directive 2003/87/EC in the year 2005. This quantity is equivalent to a third of the reduction effort in 2020. Member States should be allowed to transfer the unused part of that quantity to other Member States, provided that at least 50% of such projects are implemented in the LDCs and the SIDS.

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 at a minimum by the percentage set for that Member State in the Annex to this Decision in relation to its emissions in the year 2005.

Article 4 – paragraph 1 – subparagraph 2
Member States shall ensure that their policies for purchasing these creditsat least 50% of these credits are purchased from the LDC and the SIDS so as to enhance the equitable geographical distribution of projects and the achievement of an international agreement on climate change.
