Any binding sectoral agreements which lead to global emissions reductions onf the cost of thmagnitude required allowances in product prices without significant loss of market share to less carbon efficient installations outside the Community, taking into account the following: (a) the extent to which auctioning would lead to a substantial increase in production cost; (b) the extent to which it is possible for individual installations in the sector concerned to reduce emission levels for instance on the basis of the most efficient techniques; (c) market structure, relevant geographic and product market, the exposure of the sectors to international competition; (d) the effect of climate change and energy policies implemented, or expected to be implemented outside the EU in the sectors concerned. For the purposes of evaluating whether the cost increase resulting from the Community scheme can be passed on, estimates of lost sales resulting from the increased carbon price or the impact on the profitability of the installations concerned may inter alia be usedto effectively address climate change, and which are monitorable, verifiable and subject to mandatory enforcement arrangements shall also be taken into account when reviewing what measures are appropriate for Annex 2aa sectors.
