The ETS pilot phase (2005-2007) was characterised by an oversupply of emission allowances mainly due to the \"generous\" allocation of allowances by member countries. For the second trading phase (2008-2012) the European Commission aimed at increasing the stringency of the overall emission cap and took a more active role in approving member countries' National Allocation Plans. Due to the decline in economic activity and emissions in the course of the economic crisis, the cap, however, was only stringent in 2008 whereas 2009 and 2010 both showed a long position for EU total. Differences in national and sectoral caps are found for all years. In this paper, we analyse differences in allocation patterns, i.e., in the stringency of the cap and in the spread between installations, until 2010. We focus on general sectoral allocation patterns and perform an in-depth analysis for three emission intensive sectors: \"power and heat\", \"cement and lime\" and \"pulp and paper\". Furthermore, we discuss the impact of the economic crisis on the emissions of these sectors in detail.","onlinedate":"2011-11-09 01:00:00","lang":"English","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20111101","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"30","keywords":"[]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":428201,"zip":null,"link":"","monthly_report":true,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"","monthly_report_pages":"","monthly_report_pages_sort":"0","issue":"408","journal":"WIFO Working Papers","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":false,"embargo_date":null,"types":[44410],"research_groups":[3655],"collaboration":"","persons":[3652,3659,3671],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3652,\"personName\":\"Claudia Kettner\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3659,\"personName\":\"Daniela Kletzan-Slamanig\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3671,\"personName\":\"Angela K\u00f6ppl\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[10722],"subclients":[],"partners":[8870,64603],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ETCLIP \u2013 The Challenge of the European Carbon Market: Emission Trading, Carbon Leakage and Instruments to Stabilise the CO2 Price.
