The pilot regions are required to comprehensively complete initial determination of the emission rights of the existing pollutant emitting entities by the end of 2015, with subsequent determination carried out, in principle, once every five years. The system for the use for consideration and trading of emission rights will essentially be established in the pilot regions by 2017. Pollutant emitting entities will secure emission rights either by payment of a use fee or through trading. During the specified period of time, a pollutant emitting entity will have the right to use, transfer and mortgage the emission rights.
