The Economic and Social Council of Bulgaria is pushing for a more balanced approach to the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The council argues that current carbon policies are contributing to high electricity prices and threatening industrial competitiveness. The resolution calls for stronger protections for vulnerable households and industry, suggesting a permanent mechanism to compensate for price spikes. It also urges a review of national positions within the EU Environment and Energy Councils to address potential natural gas shortages.
