Emissions Trading: Commission to connect EU with UN carbon credit registry before December
The European Commission, Member States and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Secretariat have successfully completed all the testing required for connecting to the UN's international carbon credit registry. The EU's Community Independent Transaction Log (CITL) and Member State registries will be connected to the UN's International Transaction Log (ITL) before December 2008 at the latest. The link will mean carbon credits issued under the Clean Development Mechanism can be transferred to the registries of EU Member States.

1 January 2005 marked the start of the EU greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme, from which date approximately 12,000 installations across the 25 Member States of the European Union are required to surrender allowances equal to their annual emissions.
Each Member State will have its own national registry containing accounts which will hold the allowances. These registries interlink with the Community transaction log, operated by the Commission, which will record and check every transaction.
Each of the 12,000 installations will need to have an "operator holding account" in its national registry, into which its own allowances will be issued. Any individual or organisation wishing to participate in the market will be able to open up their own "person holding account" in any of the registries.
The Community transaction log's web pages will show when a national registry has gone live, when accounts have been opened, contact details for these accounts and when allowances have been allocated in accordance with the final "national allocation plan". Records of other types of transactions will be made available after a period of five years has passed. On 15 May of each year from 2006 onwards, these web pages will show the compliance position of each installation across the EU-25.
