Kyiv, Ukraine...January 31, 2003........Denmark formalized a climate
agreement with Romania under the Joint implementation projects of the
Kyoto Protocol yesterday according to news reports out of Copenhagen.
Denmark has also entered a general climate partnership with Slovakia,
and is in talks for similar national programs with Ukraine, Russia, Poland,
Estonia and Bulgaria, The Copenhagen Post wrote on Thursday.
Denmark has entered a framework agreement with Romania on joint
future climate projects. The agreement will transfer dearly needed new
technology to Romania to conserve energy and limit air pollution. In return,
Denmark can write off the carbon dioxide reduction on its national climate
report.
The so-called Joint Implementation projects under the Kyoto Protocol
open the possibility for industrialized countries to launch energy projects
in
other countries- notably in Eastern Europe- where cutbacks in CO2 emissions
from disabled power plants or disused factories can be implemented more
cheaply.
Environment Minister Hans Christian Schmidt, who signed yesterday's
agreement with Romanian Ambassador Vlad-Andrei Moga, predicts that the
partnership will help Denmark reach its ambitious climate objectives under
the Kyoto Protocol according to The Copenhagen Post. The last phase of
an initial project in Romania is currently under negotiation.
