DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/n38d93/eu_environmental) has announced the addition of the "EU Environmental Law - The EU Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme" book to their offering.
EU ENERGY LAW VOLUME IV, EU ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
The EU Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme
The EU Emissions Trading Scheme is applicable to an increasingly wide range of businesses, a trend that looks certain to continue. A thorough understanding of the law and policy that underlies this scheme is therefore essential for companies, their advisers, and their legal representatives. Understanding this framework offers real business benefits, while failure to do so can result in important lost opportunities.
Knowing when to invest in new emission rights, when to sell and when to install new, more energy efficient technology must now be an integral part of business decision-making both in the EU and internationally. This volume provides a thorough understanding of the system and its implementation, enabling companies and their advisors to master this fast developing subject.
