Letter to President von der Leyen on the revision of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS)

23/06/2026

Eurochambres calls for a pragmatic revision of the EU Emissions Trading System

The forthcoming ETS revision must be accompanied by stronger efforts to provide businesses with a global level playing field and the enabling conditions for a competitive transition, including access to affordable energy, faster permitting and adequate financing. This also requires an effective export solution for CBAM sectors to address the competitive disadvantage faced by EU exporters in markets where competitors do not bear comparable carbon costs.
