Atmosfääriõhu kaitse seaduse ja teiste seaduste muutmise seadus (kasvuhoonegaaside heitkogustega kauplemise süsteemi direktiivi muudatuste osaline ülevõtmine)

This Estonian law amends the Atmospheric Air Protection Act and other national laws to partly transpose EU changes to the greenhouse gas emissions trading system (EU ETS). The EU system caps emissions from large polluting sectors and requires operators to hold allowances for each tonne of CO2 they emit. Because the title refers to a partial transposition, the law implements only some of the amended EU rules. Companies that run installations covered by the emissions trading system in Estonia, such as power plants and industrial facilities, are the main parties likely to be affected. National authorities that administer emissions permits, monitoring and reporting are also involved. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full legislative text, so specific obligations and dates are not described here.
