Dec. 3 (Bloomberg) -- The European Union regulator said it
will seek opinions whether the range of between 100 million and
300 million allowances for the post-2012 period expected to be
sold early is appropriate for further regulatory work.
The volume expected by analysts and power companies to
ensure "a smooth transition" to the next phase of the EU
emissions trading system is on top of 300 million allowances to
be sold by the European Investment Bank before 2013, the
European Commission said in a discussion paper for a Dec. 13
stakeholder meeting.
