Advice on a moderated NZ ETS
Below is a list of the Cabinet papers and briefing notes on amendments to the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS).
We have withheld certain sections in light of the principles of the Official Information Act (OIA). Reasons for withholding information include:

- Withholding is necessary to protect information where the making available of the information would be likely unreasonably to prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied or is the subject of that information
- Withholding is necessary to prevent prejudice to the substantial economic interests of New Zealand
- Withholding is necessary to maintain the effective conduct of public affairs through the free and frank expression of opinion by, between, or to Ministers or officials in the course of their duty
- Withholding is necessary to maintain legal professional privilege
- Withholding is necessary to enable a Minister, Department or organisation holding the information to carry on negotiations (including commercial and industrial negotiations) without prejudice or disadvantage
- Withholding is necessary to prevent the disclosure or use of official information for improper gain or advantage.
Sections in these documents that have been withheld for these reasons are marked as [Withheld].
