"Further changes (...) I reject," says the letter addressed to "Dear Ursula," which is available to SPIEGEL. "I trust that the European Commission will maintain its course on emissions trading and thus provide European companies and households with planning certainty." Merz defends the ETS1 in his letter as a "well-functioning market-based system that we must not call into question," the Chancellor states. "European companies in the energy and industrial sectors have based their business models on the expectation of reliable CO2 price signals." To offset the increase in electricity prices from fossil-fueled power plants for the industry, there is "the proven instrument of electricity price compensation," writes the Chancellor. #CO2Preis #EUEmissionshandel #Klimaschutz (translated)
