Emissions trading proceeds Increasing speculations on the ratification of the Kyoto protocol by Russia however, the importance of the Kyoto process has diminished as the EU institutions approved the idea of decoupling the use of global (Kyoto) trading mechanisms in the EU trading Implementation of the Emissions Trading Directive is proceeding the EU level legislative framework is in place for years 2005-2007 and there are indications on what may follow in 2008-2012 (Kyoto period) - no concrete decisions on the time after that generous national allocation plans (NAPs) - market likely not very short resulting in price levels possibly lower than expected energy sector will be the main contributor to the reductions big uncertainties on the process will remain for some time Within the power sector, the changes of operational costs will depend on fuels and technology, on the need to buy allowances and on the price level of allowances 22
