The package contains the following proposals:
- A Directive on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS);
- A comprehensive Directive for renewable energy, including biofuels targets and a ‘burden sharing’ agreement with individual targets for Member States;
- The regulation of greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, including a ‘burden sharing’ agreement with individual targets for Member States;
- A proposal for the improvement of the post-2012 Emissions Trading Scheme.
Originally the European Commission planned to take final decisions on the package on the 5th of December, but postponed the finalisation. There are still some issues on the table, like the burden sharing agreements and the topic of certificates trading.
