Ahead of the starting trialogue, ECRN has met with various representatives from Member States’ Permanent Representations to discuss the Emission Trading System (ETS) reform. The ECRN Director, Renatka Krcova and Lieven Top (Flanders) as the representative of the member regions have had fruitful discussions on the state of play with representatives of the UK, Italy and Germany. In the coming weeks, ECRN will continue to highlight the interests of the chemical regions by promoting the regional views also to the European Parliament and the MEPs.
