The project team provided support in the impact assessment and evaluation (according to REFIT guidelines) for DG CLIMA view to a legislative proposal to be put forward by the Commission in 2015.

This evaluation focussed on the third phase of the EU ETS structure. A comprehensive intervention logic was developed and a literature review (supplemented by the team’s expert opinion) carried out in order to evaluate the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, EU-added value and coherence of the EU ETS Directive.

For support for the impact assessment the project team carried out an assessment of a set of policy options in line with the conclusions of the European Council of October 2014.
