BRUSSELS, Dec 12 (Reuters) - Eastern European member states could receive two levels of funding to secure their support in an EU plan to cut carbon in the fight against climate change, according to a final draft text prepared for leaders on Friday. Ten percent of revenues from the EU's flagship emissions trading scheme (ETS) would be distributed to them via the so-called "solidarity and growth" fund, said the text seen by Reuters and which is yet to be approved by leaders. That would be followed by a further 2 percent for the nine former communist countries that reduced emissions when industry collapsed in the wake of communism.
