Following the votes in Parliament's Environment and Industry committees in September and October 2008 and several rounds of informal negotiations, Parliament's delegations achieved informal agreements with the French Presidency of the Council on all six proposals: - the revision of the EU Emission Trading Scheme - EP Rapporteur Avril Doyle (EPP-ED, IE), - the effort-sharing decision - EP rapporteur Satu Hassi (Greens/EFA, FI), - the carbon capture and storage (CCS) legal framework - EP rapporteur Chris Davies (ALDE, UK), - the renewable energies directive - EP rapporteur Claude Turmes (Greens/EFA, LU), - the regulation on CO2 emissions from cars - EP rapporteur Guido Sacconi (PES, IT), and - the fuel quality directive - EP rapporteur Dorette Corbey (PES, NL).
Deputāti balsoja par sešiem likumprojektiem: jauno rūpniecības emisiju tirdzniecības sistēmu (ETS), dalībvalstu sloga sadalījumu, mērķiem atjaunojamo enerģiju jomā, CO2 uztveršanu un uzglabāšanu, pasažieru auto emisijām un degvielas kvalitāti.
