ECCP review : general objective




to review the implementation of climate change
related EU-wide polices and measures,
to assess their concrete implementation in the
Member States,
to assess the resulting actual and projected
emission reductions, and on the basis of this
analysis,
to discuss the further development of EU climate
change policies to achieve the EU’s and Member
States’ obligations under the Kyoto Protocol,
and beyond
European Commission: Environment Directorate General Slide: 6
5 topics
Energy supply measures
 Energy demand measures,
 Transport measures
 Other gases in industrial, energy and
waste (methane, N20 and fluorinated
gases)
 Agriculture and forestry

European Commission: Environment Directorate General Slide: 7
Key issues





Assessment of the trends in GHG emissions for the
specific sector
To evaluate the implementation of the recommendations
of ECCP I Working Groups and the achievement of the
commitments taken by the EC
To evaluate the concrete implementation in the MS
(actual and projected emission reductions, identifying
best practice, evaluating cost-effectiveness, impacts on
the sectors concerned and specific gaps.)
To evaluate the progress in terms of the development of
EU climate policy and consider issues in relation to the
overall consistency, effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of
future EU wide climate policy in synergy with the Lisbon
strategy
To develop conclusions and recommendations.
European Commission: Environment Directorate General Slide: 8
Working method
Topical groups
 Balanced representation of stakeholders
(MS experts, representatives of business
sectors, NGO representatives, academic
experts and Commission)
 final report based on the activities and
conclusions of the topical groups, prepared
by the chairman

European Commission: Environment Directorate General Slide: 9
Policy deliverable
The Working Group should aim to deliver
a report by March 2006.
 Taking into account the report of the
Working Group, the Commission will
present a policy paper on the review of the
ECCP to be discussed under the Austrian
Presidency.
