Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Where equivalent measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, in particular taxation, are in place for small installations whose emissions do not exceed a threshold of 1025 000 tonnes of CO2 per year, there should be a procedure for enabling Member States to exclude such small installations from the emissions trading system for so long as those measures are applied. This threshold relatively offers the maximum gain in terms of reduction of administrative costs for each tonne excluded from the system, for reasons of administrative simplicity. As a consequence of the move from five-year allocation periods, and in order to increase certainty and predictability, provisions should be set on the frequency of revision of greenhouse gas emission permits.

(25) Once a future international agreement on climate change has been reached, CDM credits from third countriesERs originating from projects started after the conclusion of that agreement should only be accepted in the Community scheme once those countries have ratified the international agreement.

4. The maximum amount of allowances that is the basis for calculating allocations to installations which carry out activities in 2013 and received a free allocation in the period 2008 to 2012 shall not exceed, as a proportion of the annual Community-wide total quantity, the percentage of the corresponding emissions in the period 2005 to 2007 that those installations emitted. A correction factor shall be applied where necessary to comply with the quantities determined according to paragraphs 1 to 3 and without changing the total quantity of allowances according to Article 9.

In the determination referred to in the first subparagraph the Commission shall take into account the extent to which it is possible for the sector or sub-sector concerned to pass on the cost of the required allowances and the indirect effect of CO2 cost pass-through in power prices in product prices without significant loss of market share to less carbon efficient installations outside the Community, taking into account the following:

Such an international agreement should include a critical mass of world wide sectoral production. Countries subject to such an international agreement shall agree to implement and enforce measures which result in an equivalent burden for industries exposed to international competition.
