To explore these questions, we used our MiniCAM model and the following assumptions: that industrialized
countries impose a common emissions price in 2012, China joins the agreement at a later date, and
other countries join whenever their per capita income reaches that of China at the time of China's
accession into the emissions control agreement.
The rights and obligations arising from agreements concluded before 1 January 1958 or, for acceding States, before the date of their
accession, between one or more Member States on the one hand, and one or more third
countries on the
other, shall not be affected by the provisions of this Treaty.
