Italy and other EU countries call for ETS review

Ministers from 11 EU member states, led by Italy, have called for a major review of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) to improve price stability, protect energy‑intensive industries, and support investment in clean technologies. They argue that excessive price volatility and reduced free allowances risk undermining industrial competitiveness. The group has urged the European Commission to reconsider emissions benchmarks, quota allocation, and coordination with the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The next ETS review is expected in July, amid broader concerns over energy costs and market predictability.
