Carbon emissions reforms/ 4 countries ask EU to review rules

Four European Union countries are asking the European Commission to reconsider part of planned carbon market reforms, warning that some industries could face serious competitive pressure under stricter emissions rules that will come into effect between 2026 and 2030.

The countries in question are Estonia, France, Germany and Spain.

They warn that the new method proposed by the European Commission for calculating free carbon allowances could force companies to cut emissions faster than many industries can realistically manage.

Their reaction comes in response to the Commission's recent move to allow fewer free pollution permits for industries, a measure that has been in place to help them remain competitive with countries with weaker climate rules./CNA
