(Bloomberg) -- European Union carbon dioxide permits
for 2008 fell to a two-month low after the European Commission
raised the allocation of emission allowances for Ireland and Latvia
in the five years through 2012, increasing supply.

The July 13 decision increases the total number of permits
allocated by 1.08 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year.
Permits for December 2008 fell 89 cents, or 4.5 percent, to 19
euros ($26.19) a ton at 3:45 p.m. local time on the European
Climate Exchange in Amsterdam.
