EU Emissions Trading Scheme
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to seek a formal link between the UK and EU emissions trading schemes to exempt British manufacturers from the upcoming EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
- Answer
-
The UK and EU agreed to work towards linking their respective Emissions Trading Schemes (ETSs) at the May 2025 UK-EU Summit. Negotiations began late last year and are on-going. A significant benefit of a linking agreement would be the creation of the conditions needed for mutual exemptions from our respective CBAM regimes.
