MEPs likely to approve Commission's carbon leakage list

摘要

The 164 industrial sectors identified as at risk of carbon leakage by a recent European Commission document looked set to receive the seal of approval from the European Parliament's Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety this week.rnMEPs discussing the issue on 6 October reluctantly admitted that the Commission was acting within its mandate when putting forward the list and that there was a need to stick to agreed deadlines.rn"They were not overwhelmingly in favour, but they probably won't oppose it," the Committee's spokesperson, Constanze Beckerhoff, told EE&PL on Wednesday.
