Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, is resisting calls for a major overhaul of the EU's carbon pricing system while urging member states to reduce energy taxes. Despite pressure from energy-intensive sectors and certain countries, she maintains that the Emissions Trading System (ETS) is essential for decarbonisation and investment.

The Commission also aims to revise the Market Stability Reserve to enhance price stability in the carbon market. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
