4. Acknowledges that forms of carbon tax already exist in some Member States and warns of the risk they pose to competition in the single market; believes in the greater benefit of introducing carbon taxation in a coordinated manner, based on an evaluation of Member States’ best practices as well as on a thorough impact assessment; calls on the Commission to recommend possible instruments coordinating carbon taxation for non-ETS sectors at EU level w ...[+++]hich could be based on agreed EU minimum rates; calls on Member States to inform the other Member States in the Council before adopting unilateral measures;

By describing the cost effective pathway to move Europe to a low carbon future, our Roadmap provides a clear and predictable framework for business and govenrments to prepare their low-carbon strategies and long-term investments''

12. RECOGNISES that a clear carbon price signal, achieved via ambitious mitigation targets and a well-developed, robust and transparent global carbon market, or domestic carbon taxes, will be essential to both achieve emissions reductions in an efficient way and scale up private and public sources in line with the $100bn target.

26. Takes note of the mandate by the Ecofin Council to the Commission to seek out alternative sources for development financing and draws attention to the need for a more extensive debate (particularly at multilateral level) and for more thorough analysis regarding the suitability and the feasibility of the various existing proposals for alternative funding instruments, some of which have been analysed in Commission Communication COM(2002) 81 final; suggests in this context that initiatives such as a global tax on fossil fuels (which would have the dual objectives of reducing carbon ...[+++] emissions and raising necessary funds for development) be considered as the possible basis for an EU initiative on this subject to be presented at the Johannesburg Summit; calls on the Commission in the context of the requested analysis to consider the merits of instituting within the EU a "Give As You Earn (GAYE)" scheme by which each Member State would make provision in their income tax systems for taxpayers to make voluntary, tax deductible, contributions for charitable causes, a minimum amount of which (e.g. EUR 10 per taxpayer) would be paid into a special fund devoted exclusively to relieve poverty in the world's poorest countries (the so-called "Sachs tax");

17. Calls on all EU institutions to encourage the shift towards zero-carbon emission fuels for power, notably electricity generation from nuclear energy, hydrogen for transport fuel from biomass, hydroelectric, solar and wind energy sources, both by removing existing legislative obstacles and by making them subject to a specific EU-wide exemption from all excise duties, energy taxes or climate levies and also by providing incentives to encourage a shift towards efficient energy production plants, including combined heat and power;
