In order to pursue the decrease in industrial emissions witnessed in Europe since the 1990s, European companies need favourable, stable, consistent and predictable policy conditions. A comprehensive air quality legislative arsenal is already in place in Europe. However, the European Commission is investigating the feasibility of a European Emissions Trading Scheme for industrial NOx and SO2 emissions.

BUSINESSEUROPE is holding a high-level seminar to debate the economic and environmental pertinence of a NO_x and SO₂ emissions trading scheme and possible policy alternatives.

Is NO_x and SO₂ trading smart policy?
