Following Issue’s I want to discuss  Dutch climate policy  Dutch/Russian JI cooperation  What is needed for JI and GIS  Conclusions

Dutch Climate Policy  Get a CO2 World Market for Efficient Climate Policy  -6% CO2 reductions in period /2012  40 Mton a year  50% national instruments  50% flexible instruments (JI/CDM en ET)

Dutch JI/CDM Programme 2004  Budget 200 mln EURO for JI Min of Economic Affairs  Budget 350 mln EURO for CDM Min of Environment  In accordance with EU/OECD/Kyoto rules  Target CO2 price 3-5 EUR  Target 100 Mton CO2 (35% JI/65% CDM)

For 100 Mton CO2 we follow five roads  JI Buy ERU’s by ERUPT (ERU- Procurement Tender)  CDM Buy CER’s by CERUPT  Buy ERU’s and CER’s by PCF  Contract with WB/EBRD/IFC and other commercial Banks..  International Emissions Trading (Between Governments as last resort)  We are well on track!!

Dutch Approach to JI  First track JI Country in compliance art 5.7 and 8  Second track JI Validation by Independent Entity Accreditation IE by Supervisory Board  Dutch approach start with JI Second then first track JI Credits before 2008 change in AA 2008/2012 use Trading art 17

Why start with JI?  Political more attractive to start with real projects  Good for Russian Companies  Investor countries get used to decision structure in Russia

Conclusions  The Dutch and EU companies and Governments interested in - Gas and Oil from Russia - Interested in JI credits  Investment in Energy sector needed  JI and GIS can help Russian Companies  Quick decisions needed otherwise money goes to CDM

Pro’s and Con’s for JI in Russia  No clear counterpart  No institutions  Investment climate not positive  Big JI potential  Positive for Russian Companies  Foreign interest for JI  EU trading demand for JI not ET!
