Germany not to Court over Allocation but changing method

Due to the upcoming Germany EU G8 and Presidency (Jan-June 2007) it appears that the Germany has dropped going to the EU Court over the Commission cut of it's draft allocation for 2008-2012 with 12 Mton. This is what was said on behalf of Chancler Merkel: „The initiatives on behalf of the Kanzlerin can only be successfull when Germany has a reliable national climate policy. That is why mrs Merkel has to put of her fight with the Commission over the Allocation for 2008-2012 as fast as possible“. Germany will rather try to change the method of allocation to power companiers from merely based on historic emissions into the direction of benchmarking per kilowatthour and per type of fuel burnt. Than Germany would have a tool to reduce the overall allocations for NAP-2.
