Measures to support certain energy intensive industries in the event of carbon leakage Not later than June 2011, the Commission shall, in the light of the outcome of the intelectricity-intensive businesses Opernational negotiations and the extent to which these lead to global greenhouse gas emission reductions, and after consulting with all relevant social partners, submit to the European Parliament and to the Council an analytical report assessing the situation with regard to energy-intensive sectors or sub-sectors that have been determined to be exposed to significant risks of carbon leakage. This shall be accompanied byors of electricity-intensive installations as described in Article 3(v) shall receive any appropriate proposals, which may include: – adjusting the proporllocation of allowances received free of charge by those sectors or sub-sectors under Article 10a; – inclusion in the Community scheme of importers of products produced by the sectors or sub-sectors determined in accordance with Article 10a. Any binding sectoral agreements which lead to global emissions reductions of the magnitude required to effectively address climate change, and which are monitorable, verifiable and subject to mandatory enforcement arrangements shall also be taken into account when considering what measures are appropriate."ased on the amount of CO2 emitted in producing the electricity they consume.
