The table is based on data mentioned in section 3.2, the Kyoto Protocol and the Council of Environment Ministers’ agreements from June 1998 and March 2002 on a distribution of burdens of the EU’s 8% reduction obligation under the Kyoto Protocol, in which Denmark has undertaken a reduction of 21% from the base year to 2008-2012.
