20/10/2020 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 23 October, at the meeting of the 27 EU Environment Ministers, Poland could propose changes to the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and the creation of a new “energy solidarity fund” to support the poorest Member States, according to information published on Tuesday 20 October by Reuters. “What we need is a European Emissions Trading Scheme that encourages investment in regions and sectors located in the less wealthy Member States, with reduced capital levels”, says the Polish authorities’ paper. According to the document, Warsaw is also opposed to the idea of using ETS revenues as new EU own resources. As a reminder, the European Commission plans to present a review of the ETS system in the second quarter of 2021. (DG)
