|
Monday, 03 May 2010 19:14 |
Taking into account that ETMA’s last version (3.0) was designed in 2008, the question may arise whether the text of the master agreement shows the required elasticity, to cover the multiplicity of approaches taken recently in the matter of VAT taxation of EUAs, CERs and ERUs trading.

Buying allowances in the auctions versus on the secondary market - pros and cons |
|
Monday, 12 September 2011 05:46 |

|

|
The schedule for further procedure as regards new energy efficiency Directive is following:
