The cooperation between EEX and Eurex, launched in December 2007, has been starting with trading of CO2 emission rights (EUA futures) for the second Kyoto phase 2008 to 2012. Since then, the cooperation was continuously extended: besides EUA futures, market participants are able to trade CER futures (Certified Emission Reductions), global emission credits in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol, and options on EUA futures on the joint platform.
