Greece looks set to be reinstated to the emissions-trading system of the Kyoto Protocol as a team of United Nations experts has found during a visit to Athens that the country’s measuring systems are up to scratch, sources said yesterday. Greece was suspended from taking part in the UN’s scheme in April after inspectors found that methods for testing pollution levels were inadequate. But it has emerged that in a report due next month, inspectors will say Greece is now in line with international standards.
