This paper analyzes the effects of the European Emissions Trading Scheme for carbon emissions established in 2005. The author discusses the conditions for cost efficiency in the current separated carbon markets accounting also for the possibilities of purchasing international carbon credits from outside the EU. Moreover, she derives recommendations for a better allocation of the reduction burden between the sectors participating in emissions trading, those that do not participate and international carbon purchases.
