China treads cautiously in setting up carbon emissions trading
2014-02-13 10:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
South China Morning Herald: China launched five regional carbon emissions exchanges last year, and two more are expected soon, but it is years away from having a mature trading platform. The mainland, which is taking a cautious approach in building a market-based mechanism for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, could shorten its learning curve by drawing lessons from the worlds largest carbon market in Europe.

Dutch govt 'cautiously positive' on EC telecom proposals
2013-11-25 11:10:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The Dutch government said it will give a "cautiously positive" response to the European Commission's proposed telecoms legislation when EU telecom ministers meet on 05 December, the Dutch minister Henk Kamp said in a letter to parliament. The EC's proposals on consumer protection and net neutrality are largely in line with the Dutch government's view, and the Dutch minister will work to ensure the EU net neutrality rules are in line with the legislation passed in the Netherlands last year, Kamp said. The Dutch also support the EC's efforts to further coordinate spectrum allocation, but do not want to see this result in power being taken away from national governments. On the EC's proposals for simplifying wholesale network access regulation, the Dutch minister said he wants to ensure rules allow for the continued existence of multiple alternative providers in order to support competition and innovation. Kamp was also less enthusiastic about the EC's proposals for roaming tariffs, saying they may not achieve the objective of lower rates. He also considers the EC's aim to pass the legislation by the European elections next spring as perhaps too ambitious.
