Implementation of the most carbon efficient technologies. The less gases we emit, the more competitive we will be in the emissions market and in our sector It is not very relevant how much we emit now. The EU is going to primarily assign emissions rights free of charge. In fact, we would get more emission rights if we emitted more in the past We must carefully negotiate with the Government. We will get as much profit from reducing emissions as by obtaining free emissions permits in the Allocation Plan the Government is preparing We need to pool with our competitors in the sector so that emission reduction costs of other sectors are not transferred to us via allocation of permits or emissions trading Other; Please specify in the box below and assign points In case you want to mention other statements / strategies, please specify them below Regarding Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism, which of the following statements / strategies would you support?

Risks are too high We will not participate in JI / CDM without financial support from the Government. If they are not ready to invest in these projects, why should we? We want to participate, but need to diversify risks by establishing partnerships, working in various projects at the same time, investing in carbon funds, etc. We will participate on our own. The sooner we get into these projects, the better competitive advantages we will get Other; Please specify in the box below and assign points In case you want to mention other statements / strategies, please specify them below Regarding Emissions Trading (EETS), which of the following statements / strategies would you support? Uncertainties about EETS are too high. We will stay away from EETS and achieve our emissions targets by other measures The EETS will simply help us reducing our abatement costs. If the emission permit price is lower than our abatement cost we will buy permits and vice versa The EETS will help us reducing our abatement costs, but high volatility in permit prices will force us to speculate. We will need to be very careful about when and how to buy / sell permits Market power will be fundamental. We will exert it by reaching agreements with competitors, pressing the Government on maximum prices, penalties for non-Kyoto competitors, etc. Other; Please specify in the box below and assign points In case you want to mention other statements / strategies, please specify them below Do you believe that your company faces significantly different abatement costs than those of your competitors?
