05/06/2026 (Agence Europe) – On Friday 5 June, the Committee of Permanent Representatives (Coreper I) approved a revised negotiating mandate on the proposal to modify the market stability reserve of the EU Emissions Trading System extended to road transport and buildings (ETS2). Negotiations with the European Parliament will take place on Wednesday 10 June, more than a month after MEPs adopted the position of the Committee on Environment (ENVI) on 29 April (see EUROPE 13859/17). According to the Cyprus Presidency of the EU Council, the Member States support “a comprehensive and balanced approach” that takes account of investments, the use of ETS2 revenues, a review clause and the invalidation of allowances in the market stability reserve. The ETS2 system will not come into force until 2028. (ND)
