(Bloomberg) -- European Union emission permits fell to
their lowest in more than a month as Germany proposed to hold
auctions, potentially earlier than expected, and traders sold
permits after prices gained more than 75 percent since February.

Permits for delivery in December 2008 dropped as much as 1.30

price for the benchmark permits since May 15. They closed at 21.10
euros. The contract reached a record-low 11.80 euros on Feb 20.
