(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 each of the Member States. Member State' regions, in view of the fact that greenhouse gas emissions vary from one region to another. Regions 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 StateRegions that currently have a relatively high per capita GDP should reduce their greenhouse emissions compared to 2005.
