Roundtable Event: Industry Supporting schemes and instruments for EU-ETS post-2012 on Tuesday 12 October 2010,
Brussels, Belgium
This Roundtable Meeting of high level EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) stakeholders took place in Brussels on 26 March 2010 to help develop recommendations to the European Commission on the future strategy for the Emissions Trading Scheme in Europe.
The Roundtable provided an excellent opportunity for organisations representing key industries to share their ETS experience and requirements. By joining us they could help shape the scope and direction of the scheme, and enable industries across Europe to engage more productively in carbon trading while remaining competitive in global markets.
Background to the Roundtable is outlined below.

SETatWork is supported by the European Commission (EC) project under the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). Its activities are targetted at members the EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) throughout Europe during 2008-2010. The overall scope of the funded programme of activities is to provide support to EU-ETS member industries in addressing the needs for improving performance on climate change and to facilitate access to carbon credits from CDM activities.
An essential activity of the work programme agreed with the EC is the development of a set of recommendations on the future EU strategy for development of the EU-ETS.
This meeting aimed to collect and discuss recommendations to the EC on current and future needs in EU-ETS industries in order to remain competitive on the global market while significantly improving performance of manufacturing with respect to carbon intensity.
The outcome of the roundtable discussions will be included in SETatWork's recommendation to the EU Commission on the following topics:
- Identified needs in industry for EU to develop schemes which facilitate a smooth penetration of energy saving technologies in the manufacturing industry and poly-generation in order to meet EU emission reduction targets.
- Requirements necessary for transparent and simplified access to the global market for carbon credits by strengthening the use of carbon credits within the EU-ETS and propose how the markets for CDM link and appliance result.
- Input required to strengthen the transfer of technology and know-how from the EU into the CDM markets in Asia, Latin America and Africa.
