PRAGUE, Oct 31 (Reuters) - The Czech Republic is proposing an annual carbon dioxide emissions cap of 101.9 million tonnes per year in an emissions plan for 2008-2012, a government official said Tuesday.

"The joint proposal by the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Industry and Trade is for (a cap) of 101.9 million tonnes, including all reserves," Jaroslav Suchy from the Ministry of Environment said in a statement sent to Reuters.

The country had said earlier it would like to defend at least the current 2005-2007 annual emissions cap of 97.6 million tonnes in upcoming talks with the European Commission, despite actual emissions reaching only 82-83 million last year.
