FuelsEurope statement following the publication of the Commission's proposal for a review of the EU Emissions Trading System

The European Commission today unveiled its proposal for the post-2030 EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), launching the next phase of the political debate between the European Parliament and the Council on the future design of the EU carbon market. The proposal provides an important basis for these discussions. As the legislative process begins, it will be crucial to ensure that the future EU ETS continues to deliver emissions reductions while preserving Europe's industrial competitiveness and strengthening the investment case for industrial transformation. We will carefully assess the Commission's proposal and engage constructively with policymakers in the months ahead.
