EU consultation

ETS2 Financial compensation

20 submissions from 19 organizations told the European Commission what they think about this file. Here is what each of them said, in their own words.

The Commission lists 25 submissions on this file. Shown here: the 20 from organizations. Not shown, by design: submissions from private individuals, which we never publish, and anything filed since our last weekly refresh.

Who showed up

14 submissions from industry — companies and their trade associations — against 3 from civil society: NGOs, consumer organizations, environmental groups and trade unions. That is 4.7 industry submissions for every one from civil society.

Industry 14Civil society 3Public authorities, academia, other 3

Groupings use the respondent type each organization selected when filing. Counting submissions, not organizations — a body that filed twice is counted twice.

This implementing act shall be adopted in accordance with the legal obligation of the Commission set out in Article 30f(5) of Directive 2003/87/EC. It lays down detailed rules to provide financial compensation to final consumers of fuels who have to bear the carbon costs of ETS2 in cases where double counting or involuntary coverage could not be avoided.

The draft raises issues of critical concern for the European aviation industry.

ETS2 is an important component of the EU climate framework, extending carbon pricing to fuel use in buildings is crucial to enable the decarbonisation of the heating and cooling sector. Its effective implementation will depend on clear and workable rules that avoid unintended double counting or unintended coverage and provide a reliable remedy where this nevertheless occurs.

Glasshouse horticulture The Netherlands welcomes the Commission’s proposal to enable financial compensation of ETS 2 costs for end users. This is important to avoid that ETS-2 leads to unintended costs for entrepreneurs that are in principle outside ETS-2. The proposed framework provides an important basis for Member States to address those financial consequences of ETS-2 in a proportionate manner.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
