A lawmaker from the European Union’s biggest political group is proposing that the bloc abandon fast-tracking a measure to stabilize its carbon market, and instead link it to a broader overhaul of the emissions trading program.
Adam Jarubas, a Polish member of the European People’s Party, has put forth the amendment in the EU Parliament’s environment committee. The panel is debating a draft regulation by the European Commission to bolster the Market Stability Reserve, designed to curb excess emissions permits.
