On the occasion of the announcement of a carbon price by the Australian Government, EU Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard said: ''Congratulations to Australia for its commitment to pricing carbon emissions and introduce a domestic cap-and-trade scheme from July 2015".
"Our experience in Europe is that our Emissions Trading System has led our most forward thinking industries to some very creative and innovative ways of working, that help reduce emissions and cut costs.
