What they argued
The Bulgarian Industrial Association has submitted its official opinion on the European Commissions Clean Corporate Vehicles initiative. While we support the EUs climate ambitions, our feedback highlights key concerns regarding the proposals proportionality, feasibility, and potential unintended consequences.
The Bulgarian Industrial Association (BIA), representing more than 130 sectoral industrial organisations, welcomes the opportunity to provide input on the draft Implementing Regulation revising EU ETS benchmark values for free allocation for 2026-2030. BIA supports the EU's climate objectives and the ETS's role as a key decarbonisation instrument.
Bulgarian Industrial Association Union of the Bulgarian Business (Българска стопанска камара съюз на българския бизнес, БСК) welcomes the initiative and suggests that the European Commissions review of the EU Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act must prioritize a realistic, performance-based transition over blanket sectoral exclusions to safeguard industrial competitiveness and energy security.
The Bulgarian Industrial Association supports the European Commissions intention to assess measures addressing Single-Use plastics, but highlights significant challenges in implementing Directive (EU) 2019/904. Businesses face increasing administrative and financial burdens related to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes, leading to higher costs and ultimately higher prices for consumers.
