(14 a) Member States are required, under Article 6 of the Kyoto Protocol, to ensure that the use of the Kyoto flexible mechanisms is supplemental to domestic action, with a view to narrowing per capita differences in emissions between developed and developing countries. At least half of the absolute reductions below historical baseline emissions should be realised within the Union. Union law also contains specific provisions regarding certain types of Clean Development Mechanism project credits which should be distinguished in the Member States' registries and reporting.
