The European People's Party (EPP) has urged Climate Action Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra to significantly recalibrate the bloc's carbon market, the Emissions Trading System (ETS), by allowing more free pollution allowances to heavy industry beyond 2030.
Issued in an internal document detailing the EPP's position and seen by Euronews, the plea comes ahead of the European Commission's proposal to revise the ETS rules, due on 15 July.
