The plan says that the sectors covered by linked emissions trading should include \u201celectricity generation, industrial heat generation (excluding the individual heating of houses), industry, domestic and international maritime transport and domestic and international aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n
It would also create a procedure to \u201cfurther expand the list of sectors\u201d in the future.<\/p>\n
The agreement would \u201crequire that the cap and reduction pathway of the United Kingdom are at least as ambitious as the cap and reduction pathway followed by the Union\u201d but also \u201cnot constrain\u201d the EU and U.K. from \u201cpursuing higher environmental ambition, consistent with their international obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n
Under the Commission\u2019s proposal, the U.K. would get a mutual exemption from the EU\u2019s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).<\/p>\n
In some policy areas, the European Commission must obtain legal mandates from EU member states before it starts negotiating on their behalf. Further mandates are expected in other areas covered by the U.K.-EU reset, for example on electricity trading.<\/p>\n
Some policy areas do not require mandates, either because they are an EU competence or because one already exists. For example, negotiations about the U.K. joining the Erasmus exchange program are likely to be covered by a provision in the existing trade agreement allowing U.K. participation in EU programs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The plan says that the sectors covered by linked emissions trading should include \u201celectricity generation, industrial heat generation…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266943,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5226],"tags":[768,802,748,2813,1312,5398,51827,2000,299,5187,1699,7222,4884,806,807,809,54159,54160,46,48,6862,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-266942","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brexit","8":"tag-borders","9":"tag-brexit","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-carbon","12":"tag-electricity","13":"tag-emissions","14":"tag-erasmus","15":"tag-eu","16":"tag-europe","17":"tag-european","18":"tag-european-union","19":"tag-food-safety","20":"tag-great-britain","21":"tag-industry","22":"tag-keir-starmer","23":"tag-negotiations","24":"tag-organics","25":"tag-pesticides","26":"tag-policy","27":"tag-rights","28":"tag-trade-agreements","29":"tag-uk","30":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114863702180166011","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
