The ETS has emerged as the backbone of the EU Climate Action and, especially in the last two years, as a crucial driver of decarbonisation. The Commission proposal to review the EU ETS Directive aims at aligning the emissions pathway of the ETS sectors with the new EU climate targets. Throughout the next decade, the ETS is required to both enable a deep decarbonisation of the power sector and to tackle industry’s emissions, while avoiding carbon leakage.

The ENVI Committee adopted on 22 June their position on the file ahead of the beginning of the trilogues while the Council adopted it on 28 June. Interinstitutional negotiations began on 11 July.

Following the introduction of EU high level authorities, the roundtable discussed key takeaways from the current EU ETS state of play under trilogues and provided an opportunity to exchange views on the on-going negotiation process.

This is an online event. We look forward to seeing as many people as possible.
