Table 1 gives an overview of the policies implemented before Kyoto, after Kyoto in the late 1990s and early 2000s for the first commitment period, as well as from 2007 to 2010 in preparation for the 2020 targets. The overview shows that European climate policies have been targeted at the main pillars of climate policy, namely GHG, renewable energies and energy efficiency measures since the beginning. Although with the disagreement on the CO2 tax there was no coordinated measure tackling GHG emissions in the early 1990s, the following time periods brought about various instruments in this area.

In 2004, 2007 and 2013 the European Community expanded by including 10, 2 and 1 Central and Eastern European countries respectively, which all adopted the Community’s climate policies. Except for Malta and Cyprus, all of these countries had also committed to GHG reduction targets for 2008-12 under the KP.
