The Article 6 of the Kyoto Protocol defines the "Joint Implementation" mechanism. It says that it allows a county that is an Annex B member of the protocol, to launch a project that aims at emission-reduction/removal to another country which is also an Annex B member of the Protocol. That's why this is called Joint Implementation, it is a joint effort of countries that was also under the Kyoto Protocol.
The Joint Implementation project must also comply to some requirements. First, it must provide emission reductions greater than what would have occurred if the parties involved decides to work independently. The projects must also conform to the approval of the host party and participants must be also authorized by their respective governments.
JI projects that starts in the year 200 may be eligible projects if they meet the relevant requirements but credits may only be issued in the starting of the year 2008.
