Nov. 26 (Bloomberg) -- A blockage of the German carbon-
trading registry over Dec. 1 would probably cause "serious
difficulties" for traders seeking delivery on that day, said
Louis Redshaw, head of environmental markets for Barclays
Capital in London.
The majority of over-the-counter forward contracts are for
delivery on Dec. 1, he said today by phone. "The danger is
other registries may also block transactions during this time,"
he said.
