The article discusses Europe's Emissions Trading System (ETS) cap-and-trade scheme as of 2013, with information on the programme's aim of reducing carbon emissions in the European Union (EU). Topics include the surplus of carbon permits due to low levels of demand, attempts of the European Commission to postpone introduction of carbon allowances until demand increases, and the implications of ETS implementation issues for other governments with similar programmes.
