The analysis showed the transition from the fuel consumption rationing to the greenhouse gas emissions rationing in the world. The conclusion is drawn on the need to harmonize the legislation of the Russian Federation and the European Union for organizing the accounting for carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption with consideration to climatic conditions and operating characteristics.
