EU ministers call for carbon market reform

摘要

London-Ahead of a crunch vote in the Euro- pean Parliament scheduled for Wednesday, environment ministers from 12 EU member states have called on the Parliament and Council of Ministers to pass urgent reforms to Europe's carbon market. "Although we are clear that market inter- ference should be kept to a minimum, a one-off and targeted intervention now would minimize market uncertainty and distortions, and also promote investment in low carbon technologies," the ministers said in a joint statement.
