Consultation participation and their own register declarations, side by side. Counts, not judgments — participation is not influence.
Counts here are a floor, never a total: they cover the 583 consultation files tracked so far (42,224 submissions, mostly 2025–26), so an organization's real filing history is larger, not smaller.
Register facts self-declared (snapshot 2 Sept 2026); cost bands are floors. Shared files are shared attention, not evidence of coordination.

BEUC is sceptical about a possible inclusion of road transport and heating within ETS. Such carbon-pricing tool must be analysed in regard to the impact on low-income consumers and their financial capacity to switch to more sustainable ways of moving around/heating their house.
Answer from Svebio - Swedish Bioenergy Association We strongly support extension of carbon pricing to the sectors outside ETS. But we are not convinced that inclusion in ETS of the heating and transport sectors are the right way to do this. We would instead prefer introducing carbon taxes on sectors outside ETS. It is a simpler and more straightforward incentive than carbon emission trading.
The Energy Taxation Directive (ETD) can support Europe’s decarbonisation efforts as price is an element that consumers consider when they make their purchase choices. As energy taxes represent a high share of final energy prices, the ETD can help to send clear price signals to nudge consumers to use less energy and switch to renewable energy.
The European Commission misses the opportunity to introduce a common minimum tax rate for carbon dioxide emissions. This is remarkable given that the proposed directive is part of the Green deal. Our proposal is a minimum carbon dioxide tax of 25 €/ton CO2 for all sectors outside ETS. This would be a better incentive than the proposed ETS-system for buildings and transport.
BEUC welcomes the focus on zero-emissions vehicles and the link with the Zero Pollution Ambition. To achieve both the climate and air quality goals, it is essential to accelerate the uptake of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) which truly deliver on both ends. Promoting BEVs will benefit consumers thanks to a better Total Cost of Ownership for these cars.
The EU regulation has to change from zero tail-pipe to well-to-wheels and conventional biofuels from crops are much needed also for cars. The EU climate target for the transport sector is far too low, only 13 percent in emission reduction by 2030 compared to the Swedish target of 70 percent reduction.
