Such businesses will be able to use eligible international carbon units to meet up to 50 per cent of their annual liability.</p>
<p></p>- <p>However, as a result of the Coalition's election victory in 2013, it is likely that the carbon pricing mechanism will be <a href="http://www.liberal.org.au/scrapping-carbon-tax-and-reducing-cost-living">abolished</a> before these amendments begin to operate.</p>

Description
<p class="speaker">Joe Ludwig</p><p>I move:</p><p class="italic">That these bills be now read a third time.</p>- <p>The Aye-voters succeeded in passing a motion that the bills be read a third time.</p>
- <p>This means that the bills are passed in the Senate and, as they have already passed in the House of Representatives, they will now be sent to the Governor-General for royal assent so they can become laws.</p>
- <p>The seven bills are designed to link Australia’s carbon pricing mechanism to overseas emissions trading schemes from 1 July 2015, which is when the Australian carbon pricing mechanism is scheduled to transition to an emissions trading scheme.</p>
- <p>This means that Australian "liable entities" (a group that includes companies that emit a high level of greenhouse gases) will be able to trade carbon units with credible overseas emissions trading schemes such as the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme. Such businesses will be able to use eligible international carbon units to meet up to 50 per cent of their annual liability.</p>

<p class="speaker">John Hogg</p><p>The question is that these bills be now read a third time.</p><p></p>
