Table 4 - 15 . Reduction in EU ETS (including outbound aviation) and–non EU ETS sectors to meet the 20%<br />

reduction in a cost-effective way.<br />

(ii) Sharing of effort among Member States in the sectors not covered by the<br />

EU ETS<br />

Sectors not covered by the EU ETS, which are made up of small scale<br />

emitters in a wide range of sectors such as transport (cars, trucks), buildings (in<br />

particular heating), services, small industrial installations, agriculture and<br />

waste, currently represent some 60% of total GHG emissions in the EU.<br />

If one wants to differentiate between Member States for fairness reasons then<br />

it makes sense to do so in the non-ETS sectors, sectors where climate change<br />

related measures have less impact on the internal market and on<br />

competitiveness across borders and where Member States have more freedom<br />

and competence to act. However, EU-wide measures (such as product<br />

standards for cars and appliances) would supplement Member States efforts to<br />

achieve such national targets.<br />

To give some insights in potential differentiated approaches, several<br />

examples where assessed (see EC 2008):<br />

• A cost-effective reduction at the level of the whole EU regarding non-<br />

ETS sectors; this would result in a proportionally higher increase (at least<br />

50% higher than the EU average) in the overall cost compared to GDP for<br />
