EP Plenary session - Joint debate - Gas emissions

MEPs debate and vote on key EU draft laws to combat climate change by drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions and to protect jobs and citizens. Parliament is set to adopt its position on eight proposals that are part of the “Fit for 55 in 2030 package”. This is the EU’s plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels and have net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (climate neutrality) by 2050, in line with the European Climate Law. The texts approved will be Parliament’s mandate for negotiations with EU governments on the final laws. Opening statement by Chrysoula ZACHAROPOULOU, French Minister of State for Development and by Frans TIMMERMANS, executive vice-president of the European Commission in charge for the Green Deal.

The EP press service organises a seminar for media on the Fit for 55 package, with Environment Committee Chair Pascal Canfin and MEPs in charge of the legislative files. Emissions, taxonomy, energy dependency and the impact of the war are among the topics discussed.

This infoclip aims to illustrate the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. As part of the 'Fit for 55' package, the proposal intends to ensure that the EU's climate objectives are not undermined by the relocation of carbon-intensive production outside the EU.The EU now seeks to phase out free allocations, and a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) would be introduced, requiring importers to purchase certificates equivalent to the weekly EU carbon price. The CBAM would initially apply to imports in five emissions-intensive sectors: cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, and electricity. The EP rapporteur Mohammed CHAHIM (S&D, NL) would like to extend the mechanism to cover organic chemicals, hydrogen and polymers. The footage shows cement, iron and steel, fertilizers, electricity, organic chemicals, hydrogen, polymers and the European Energy Exchange in Germany.

This infoclip aims to illustrate the legislative proposal to review the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS). As part of the 'Fit for 55' package, the aim of the review is to align the EU ETS Directive with target set out in the European Climate Law to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by 55 % by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. The amount of emission allowances would be reduced, fewer allowances would be allocated for free, and the ETS would be extended to maritime transport. A separate new emissions trading system would be established for fuel distribution for road transport and buildings. The footage shows the building of the European Energy Exchange in Liepzig, Germany, which houses the EU ETS, the maritime transport sector, pollution, fuel distribution for road transport and fuel for heating buildings.
