CMIA Response to the European Commission Communication on Financing Mitigation and Adaptation Impasse in International Negotiations
There is much rhetoric from international policymakers about the importance of engagement with the private sector. Engagement with the investor community is most critical in discussions of design features of new mechanisms. The reputation of the UNFCCC and those nations that have placed political capital into the international process rests on the success of these mechanisms, and success is measured not only by the ambition levels, but the volume of capital mobilized, both public and private. If 40 per cent is to be provided by the private sector, policy makers must listen much more closely to an analysis of market feasibility of each of the current proposals on the table. Among these, and here described, are positions and clarifications around CDM reform, CDM evolution, and REDD mechanisms.

CMIA Response to UK Treasury Anti-VAT Fraud Measures
The UK Treasury announced late last week that, within the United Kingdom and effective immediately, all EU ETS emissions allowances and credits "pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol" and dated from 31 July, 2009 will be Value Added Tax (VAT)-exempt. Following in the footsteps of France and the Netherlands to take unilateral action in wait of an EU-wide directive from the European Commission, CMIA calls on the EC for expedient action to equalize the EU ETS trading environment and provide market participants with clarity.
