The author argued that starting in 2027, Europe wanted to introduce ETS2, which he described as a new tax on CO₂ emissions applied to homes and road transport as well. In his view, European industries were already penalized, while China and the United States paid nothing. He also stated that the day before, Giorgia Meloni had said enough in Brussels and blocked the agreement. #ETS #CO2 #Europa (translated)
"The easing of strict CO2 emission standards for cars risks being a counterproductive or even 'fatal' measure for the European industry, 'at a time when the race towards electrification is in full swing,' believes Neil Makaroff, an expert in ecological transition from the think tank Strategic Perspectives." #IndustrieAutomobile #PréférenceEuropéenne #TransitionÉcologique (translated)
