Summary
Poland criticizes the EU's Emissions Trading System (ETS) climate policy as "insane," with Polish official Bolesta (a former European Commission energy department staffer) arguing that industry benchmarks and industrial climate policy are damaging. The ETS is due for review in July, and the European Commission is expected to soften its trajectory to allow more industrial CO2 emissions, following lobbying from industry and member states. EU climate chief Wopke Hoekstra has indicated openness to changes.
