鈥淪pecial national targets for climate protection are counterproductive鈥�
The Economic Council (of the CDU)
Special national targets for climate protection are 鈥渃ounterproductive鈥� and should be abolished, writes the (CDU) in a concept paper on the EU energy market. The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) should be the central instrument to define a CO鈧� 鈥渓evel playing field鈥� price signal, it said. Existing national targets should be limited to the non-ETS sectors heating and transport. The council calls for industry exemptions 鈥渁t least as long as there鈥檚 no common G20 CO鈧� price level.鈥�
