The European Commission welcomed on 20 April 2004 the European Parliament's vote in favour of a new Directive on arsenic, cadmium, mercury, nickel and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in ambient air. The new Directive will allow European companies participating in emissions trading to count credits from emission reduction projects around the world towards their obligations under the European Union's emissions trading scheme. The scheme builds on the project-based mechanisms 'Clean Development Mechanism' and 'Joint Implementation' created by the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
