abstract = {Regardless of whether or not the Kyoto Protocol enters into force, the EU may decide to
set itself a long-term greenhouse gas emission target and thus to continue its leadership
role in international climate policy. As for the first commitment period of the Kyoto
Protocol, the EU may decide on a burden-sharing agreement as an integral part of such a
long-term climate policy. Against this background I analyse three different options to
distribute an overall budget of emission entitlements until 2042 among the member
states of an enlarged EU. It is shown who wins and who loses with regard to compliance
costs. As the member states? attitudes towards the different approaches are likely to depend
on the relative attractiveness of the allocation options, a relevance threshold is introduced
which may help to predict and understand the complexity of future climate negotiations
in Europe.},
