Recital 5 b (new)
(5b) As a result of significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in the Union, which is due to climate policies as well as economic circumstances, there will be a significant surplus of AAUs, CERs (certified emissions reductions) and ERUs on the Union and Member States accounts for the second Kyoto Protocol commitment period. Pursuant to Decision 1/CMP.8, which requires Parties to revisit, by 2014, their reduction commitments for the second commitment period, the Union and the Member States should cancel a number of units to align with projected real emissions, and as a minimum with a cost-effective domestic emission trajectory towards the Union's 2050 climate target.
