The biggest group in the European Parliament wants the whole assembly to decide about talks with governments on a carbon fix, avoiding fast-track negotiations, lawmaker Eija-Riitta Korhola said.
The EU Parliament’s environment committee is considering a change to the bloc’s emissions trading law that would enable temporary curbs on oversupply of carbon permits. Korhola, who is the European People’s Party lead lawmaker on the draft measure, said the proposal’s complexity requires a plenary rather than a committee authorization on further legislative steps.
