Allocation Auction Workshop, Warsaw, Poland
The first workshop of this year was held on 28 January in Warsaw, Poland. It was organised in cooperation with the Polish Government. The workshop drew many participants who came from various branches of industry and Governments. Several high level speakers (like Tomasz Chruszczow, Department of Climate Change, Ministry of the Environment, Poland and Anne-Theo Seinen, European Commission) provided their insights and visions on important aspects of and developments regarding allocation auctions in Phase III, which was followed by a plenary discussion. During the second part of the workshop participants had the opportunity to participate in different kinds of allocation auctions on the Climex Auction Platform. Afterwards, the high number of reactions of the participants were all very positive, they considered it a very informative and useful meeting.
