Kyoto´s Protocol signed by European Countries in 1997 made Eurozone commits itself to reducing their CO2 emissions by 5% (referred to 1990 figures) [1]. In order to achieve such a reduction all countries were forced to their own abatement figures and also to incorporate environmental policies to their legislations. The EU Commision´s 2007 and 2008 communications and proposals were the basis of Directive 2009/28/EC where Strategy 2020 was established. The basic core of this strategy is 20/20/20:

to Economic Written Report 6.1 a) Consider a monopoly facing the following demand and MC curves: Demand: P = 12 – 0.002 Q MC: MC = 3 + 0.001 Q (i) Calculate the profit maximizing output of this monopoly. Ans: The output level of monopoly to maximize profit is MR=MC. As‚ P=a-bQ‚ the MR curve will be MR=a-2bQ‚ So‚ 12-2(0.002Q) = 3+0.001Q 12-0.004Q = 3+0.001Q 9 = 0.005Q Q = 1800 Monopoly Price
