Independent NGO Analysis of National Allocation Plans of Selected New Member States

The NAP is of key importance for the environmental integrity of the EU emission trading scheme. As the interests of various stakeholders significantly differ from what is demanded by the emission trading directive, it is important to supervise that those interests are not reflected in the NAPs with unbalanced weight. Ineffective allocation plan can have adverse effects not only for the environment, but also the economy and even the society. That is why Climate Action Network Central and Eastern Europe has undertaken the independent analysis of the proposed NAPs in co-operation with its members from Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Slovak Republic and Slovenia. download
