The parliament dealt a blow to European Union climate policies last week, when it rejected an agreement on the bloc's carbon market amid disputes over how ambitious Europe's biggest emissions-cutting policy should be.
The lawmakers' compromise would see parliament support a 63% cut in emissions covered by the EU carbon market by 2030 - versus the 61% proposed by the European Commission, which drafts EU laws, and the 67% supported in an early parliament deal. EPP lawmaker Esther de Lange said it would deliver climate goals but reflected the "very difficult economic situation" facing industries that will face higher CO2 costs this decade - for example, by imposing two smaller "rebasing" cuts to the supply of carbon market permits, rather than one big cut upfront.
