Summary:

Reviews and analyzes the experience of European Union in addressing concerns about carbon leakage from energy-intensive, trade-exposed industries, and the lessons those efforts may have for the U.S. Reviews and analyzes provisions relating to establishing allocation scheme and a border measure in H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, to address the concerns of energy-intensive, trade-exposed industries. Analyzes potential implications of any attempt to implement a subsidy or a border measure under H.R. 2454 for World Trade Organization and U.S. trade agreements and trade obligations. Includes tables and graphs.
