Directive 2003 /87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 establishing a system for the trade in greenhouse gas emission rights in the Community and amending Directive 2003 /87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council Council Directive 96 /61/EC seeks to promote reductions in emissions of these gases in an efficient manner in relation to cost and economically.

Among other measures, the directive provides for the creation and maintenance by the Member States of a register to enable the exact account of the issue, ownership, transfer and cancellation of the rights of issue to serve as a basis, at the time, for the fulfilment of the obligations of the registry acquired by the parties to the Kyoto Protocol at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change at the time of its entry into force.
