Marcin Palade statistically wrote that the European Council did not reach an agreement this week regarding the EU budget, migration pact, or ETS2, because — he claimed — it was occupied with raising 90 billion euros for Slava, whom he referred to with an offensive nickname. He assessed that probably half of that amount will be embezzled, and some may end up in the accounts of EU officials in tax havens. #UE #budżet #migracja (translated)

When we talk about Ets, we talk about competitiveness and unfair competition from China: in 2025-2026, China opened 135 coal plants. China's sources are 55% coal. We in Europe have reduced emissions by 0.1% and China by 32%. Let me understand, do we really want to destroy the European industry for 0.1%? So what we are asking for is an important reflection, which is why we are asking for the suspension of Ets. These are the words of the president of Confindustria, Emanuele Orsini, on the sidelines of the 41st Capri Forum of Young Entrepreneurs. #Italia2026 #Confindustria #EmanueleOrsini (translated)

"Together with Italian Prime Minister Meloni, we presented two graphs showing how the ETS1 system did not confirm the European Commission's 2020 outlook (editor's note on permit prices) and how it is destroying European industry.
