Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
The urgently needed reform of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) has cleared a further hurdle. The constant representatives of the EU member states /COREPER) ratified the reform plans of the EU-ETS as expected with towering majority. Solely Poland, Hungary and Croatia did not vote to adopt the reform plans.
Now it is anticipated, that the European Council and the European Parliament will vote also positive shortly, what could happen this week. Until middle of December, the plenary session should pave the way for the realization as well.
At the beginning of the last trading week, the failed coalition talks in Germany strained the emissions trading market firstly, but regained after upcoming news about the British backing of the EU-ETS reform.
While energy market prices are rising, the EU-Emission Allowances rose nearly 4% against the final quotation of the week before and ended last week at 7.77 Euro per EUA.
