A Dissenter's View on EU ETS

The Green Alliance has come out against current policies applied in the EU ETS. While some advocates of the Emission Trading scheme such as Point Carbon use more direct criticism of this report ["Report slams ETS allocation process" ] another view might point out that they are only lobbying for the scheme to be much stronger.

Of the EU ETS and the message of reducing harmful emissions, Green Alliance says:
"..there was no clear link between this overall message and individual policies. Many criticised the complexity and lack of coherence of the package of measures in place."
However, mention of supporters of this report, such as Scottish Power may raise some suspicions, too.
