Commission scrambling to finalise battered climate plans | EU - European Information on Energy - 0 views

  • Industry groups, such as the European Round Table of Industrialists (ERT) and BusinessEurope, are pushing for the continued allocation of a set amount of free permits, arguing that full auctioning of permits would be too costly and would drive factories and jobs out of the EU
  • Over the weekend (20 January), one Commission official confirmed the plans, saying that the EU's aluminium, steel and cement industries would only be subjected to full permit auctioning gradually over a period of several years, reported Reuters.
  • But the EU executive may scrap certain elements of its original plans, including the idea to force member states that fail to reach interim targets to grant third country companies access to domestic renewables support schemes, according to ENDS Europe.
