Alexander de Roo presented a draft legislative resolution regarding specifics of linking flexible mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol to the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme. Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism allow parties to the Kyoto Protocol to invest in projects aimed at reducing greenhouse gases in Eastern Europe or developing countries to offset their emissions. A proposal to amend the EU Emissions Trading Directive to allow for credits from emission reduction projects in other countries was put forth by the Commission of European Communities.
