"Mr President, I should like to welcome the Commission statement on the greenhouse gas allowance trading schemes. Climate change is having a major economic and social impact. Consequently, pollution must be made expensive.
One point which strengthens the credibility of the overall scheme is that of the declaration of emissions submitted by every undertaking to the competent national authority. There are undertakings that submit declarations certified by specialist agencies and firms, while others are not certified.
The Commission therefore has a huge responsibility to safeguard and strengthen the credibility of the trading scheme and we call on it to take the necessary initiatives to safeguard the new scheme from any such distortions.
I propose, in the run-up to the evaluation of the second national plans for 2008-2012, that the European Commission take the necessary measures in order to prevent Member States from granting excessively generous emission allowances to certain undertakings.
I also call on the Commission to supervise the strict application of the methodology provided for, so that emission factors are applied not to combustion installations as a whole but to each combustion unit."@en1
