EU aims to cut fraud in emissions trading

摘要

The European Commission has outlined a series of actions to strengthen the integrity of the European carbon market following cyber thefts from several European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) registries earlier this year. The proposals were put to the EU Climate Change Committee, which brings together representatives from all 27 Member States. On 19 January 2011 the Commission suspended transactions, except for the allocation and surrender of allowances, in all EU ETS national registries following several cases of cyber theft.
