Nordic business ETS support letter
RecipientThe European Commission
The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise, together with the Confederation of Finnish Industries, the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise, and the Confederation of Danish Industry, has written a joint letter to Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra expressing our strong support for the EU ETS.
The letter emphasizes the ETS’s advantages as market-based and technology neutral instrument driving decarbonization. From the Confederation’s and our Nordic colleagues’ view, a predictable business environment is key for European competitiveness and for realizing the significant investments needed to strengthen the Union’s resilience and deliver on agreed decarbonization ambitions.
