The UK and EU are set for a temporary deal to stop British businesses.\"EnergyEnergy bill hikes to be stopped under new deal between UK and EU<\/p>\n

Energy bill hikes are so be PAUSED under new deal with the European Union<\/a> – as UK businesses are at risk of a \u00a3800m tax. The UK and EU are set for a temporary deal to stop British businesses.<\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s new carbon border tax (CBAM) is being introduced from 1 January. It means British businesses will be hit by levies on exports to Europe, which are produced using polluting energy-intensive methods.<\/p>\n

Now the two sides look set for a deal to help British businesses \u2013 and households \u2013 dodge the worst of the levy. Adam Berman, director of policy at Energy UK, said: \u201cIt\u2019s in the interests of both sides that a solution can be found before 1 January.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout a solution in place to exempt the UK from the CBAM during linkage negotiations, the design of the EU CBAM will result in higher energy bills and higher emissions in Northern Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis would be a bizarrely perverse outcome for a mechanism designed to mitigate climate change and strengthen the EU\u2019s competitiveness. The outcome for Northern Ireland would also be problematic.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be surprising if the European Commission isn\u2019t aware of the political consequences of putting in place a new regulatory border on the island of Ireland and its implications for the Windsor Framework.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Henig, UK director of the European Centre for International Political Economy, said the two sides were working on temporary \u201cmechanisms\u201d to avoid British firms being hit by the carbon border tax, and that there were solutions \u201cin the technical detail\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWork is under way, there is a feeling that Northern Ireland needs a solution, for the rest of the UK this might be more difficult, not least while the EU is working out its overall implementation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

A UK Government spokeswoman said: \u201cWe aren\u2019t going to provide a running commentary on negotiations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The UK and EU are set for a temporary deal to stop British businesses.Energy bill hikes to be…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470493,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[35,2000,299,5187],"class_list":{"0":"post-470492","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-energy","9":"tag-eu","10":"tag-europe","11":"tag-european"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115308996232752546","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470492","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=470492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
