EU Delays Decision on Carbon Border Levy Expansion and CO2 Car Ban

The European Union is set to delay its decision on legal proposals for expanding the carbon border levy and possibly modifying the 2035 CO2 car ban, according to a draft agenda by the European Commission. Final timing discussions are ongoing and may result in further changes.

The European Union is poised to postpone new legal proposals aimed at expanding the carbon border levy to December 16. This delay also includes potential modifications to a 2035 ban on CO2-emitting vehicles, as detailed in a draft agenda from the European Commission obtained by Reuters.

Commission officials on Monday were still negotiating the final timing details, leaving room for additional changes to the draft agenda before its official publication.

The proposed delay comes amid ongoing discussions and complex political considerations surrounding environmental regulations within the EU.
