Emission trading - legal questions arising by the option of § 7 Abs. 12 ZuG 2007
The provisions implementing the European emissions trading scheme in Germany include an option for existing facilities to be treated as newly installed facilities; by exercising the option these facilities are entitled to obtain additional emission certificates.
Since this option has been exercised by an unexpectedly high number of facilities the German overall emission budget is likely to face a shortage of some 42 million tonnes of carbondioxide in the first trading period 2005–2007. This article gives an overview of some of the most crucial legal questions arising with regard to the interpretation of this provision.
