Réponse de l’UFE à la consultation sur la feuille de route relative à la révision de l’ETS

In November 2020, UFE replied to the European Commission’s roadmap regarding the update of the Emission Trading System (ETS). UFE acknowledges the necessity to strengthen the ETS to contribute to the achievement of the new climate targets for 2030 and 2050. The ETS must be reinforced as the core instrument of decarbonisation in the EU. In this regard, UFE is in favour of the creation of a carbon floor price of at least €30/tCO2 on the ETS. However, UFE stresses that the same carbon pricing instrument will not be suited for all sectors : the extension of the ETS must be carefully assessed as well as its effectiveness compared to other carbon pricing solutions.
