Barroso urged to take a stand on EU carbon market fix

The chair of the European parliament’s environment committee has called on EU Commission president José Manuel Barroso to make a public statement of support for the EU’s bloodied plan to reform the carbon market.

The Commission, like Europe’s states, Parliament, and industry, is known to be divided on what, if any, measures should be taken to save the depressed Emissions Trading System (ETS), which is the cornerstone of EU climate policy.
