This document outlines critical considerations for the review of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), focusing on criteria for potential expansion or contraction, the implications of full harmonization versus flexibility, and the comparison of de minimis levels at EU and national levels. It also addresses the length of trading periods, the relationship to UK and international targets, and key criteria for linking transition mechanisms. Furthermore, it evaluates the most viable options for the EU scheme, encompassing costs, benefits, necessary changes to directives, and the impact of auctioning and benchmarking within the context of compliance and enforcement.
