Study of the Impact of EU ETS 2 on Household Welfare in Poland in the Context of Energy and Transport Poverty – Recommendations for the Social Climate Plan In response to the resolution of the European Parliament (EP) of November 2019 regarding the “alarming climate and environmental situation”, the European Commission (EC) has developed an action plan aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and thus limiting global Warming so that by 2050 the European Union (EU) achieves climate neutrality.
The European Commission has proposed a number of legislative initiatives at EU level aimed at greening EU trade policy. These initiatives will have an impact on levelling the competitive position of producers in Europe and in third countries, but will also entail new obligations on the part of EU operators. The changes initiated by the implementation of these initiatives may translate into opportunities for Polish producers to attract contractors and relocate production from Asia.

In our latest report on the regulatory changes to the EU’s trade policy, we explain how to do this.
